Though your mileage may vary. When I saw it in the metal at the London Boutique it seemed to me a very smart and understated strap. So much so that I put my name on the wait list immediately. However, I have to say Gus' combo above looks stunning also, and I can imagine wearing it with a linen suit

(though not necessarily in stock at the moment). Whereas the Burgundy is not generally listed on non-JLC websites. At least, that's been my experience.

And please do share photos of your engraved and lacquered Burgundy once you get it back! Is JLC doing the artistry?

And you don't have text on the rotating centre dial looking askew whenever the alarm is set for anything other than 6 o'clock.

England versus Scotland.

It's one of my favourite JLCs, and one which I think is somewhat underrated. I hope it gives you much pleasure for many years to come.

I find the dark burgundy colour more versatile in real life than I first thought, especially with a grey suit.

I'm not a fan of gold, nor of the Duoface models, and I prefer the faceted hour markers and the richer colour of the Small Seconds. I appreciate them all, but it's an easy decision for me.
