Lots of black with the subdials, crown and pushers, gasket, tach etc. and the strap matches super well. No surprise AP did that for you, they really take care of their customers!
I cannot speak for LF, but I have had other new watches that "settle in" over the first few weeks. If I have one running off, I like to let it stop for a day or two and then wind it back up. Not sure why that should matter, but it has worked on one or two over the past 20 years for me.
The woven strap texture looks cool. I'm sure they will offer orange rubber for this model. And black gives you a 3rd option. Thanks for the wonderful photos!
