… which spring bars did you use please?

I'm not able to see that story for some reason, but I didn't find it especially difficult to change the strap - a word of warning though, the "quick release" spring bars are surprisingly poor quality, the small tab on one of mine broke off very easily. FPJ did send me some spares fairly quickly than

No problem, thanks anyway - I’ll just visit their store and take the picture.

... but do you happen to know/remember the colour name Jean Rousseau used for this strap? I really like it and would like to order one, but I can't find a similar colour on the JR bespoke site. I could probably go in with your picture and ask of course...

All I've read says no damage will be caused, but I totally agree that it doesn't feel right, so I don't do it.

Do we have any more information on which watches were discontinued? I've heard some rumours that the CB is one - seems unlikely to me, but possible?

The CB movement pseudo hacks apparently, but I personally never risk it. I just start winding mine a couple of seconds before the time at which the watch stopped. This normally gets me within a second or so, which is perfectly fine for me.

A few in this Google Photos album, not very good, and I don't have time currently to process or link them directly here sorry:

... hopefully this link works:
