I agree about the comfort of this. I have the Silver one, thought it was too thick before I got it and I didn’t think I would like thicker watch on straps but I totally love this watch. The 39 size is also “perfect” for my smaller wrist, another reason why I think the “thickness” complements the small-ish size (relatively speaking)
The only thing I’d change is the stock croc leather, hence I got it replaced with an OEM racer that fits the Heuer clasp (win-win).
In term of my fav color, due to human nature of always wanting what we do not have, I will have to say Panda is my first choice and Silver is second. Prior to getting this, I have been trying to get the Calibre 18 Telemeter.
