So young a watch and already a history :)
Thanks for the thought Kiwi and very nice tale. I'm too an adept of wearing my watches, even if the price to pay is some hair strings on cases. Concerning the deployant clasp, I feel quite the opposite way. I like ardillon buckle (more comfortable as I ha...
