CdV week for me
When ordering this bespoke strap at the Jean Rousseau boutique (drawing direct inspiration from a strap VC has made at some point for the regular Traditionnelle 82172: see below), I was told that hand stitching wasn’t really worth paying for as it’s almost indistinguishable from mechanical. I was a bit surprised, but decided to trust what I was told. When I saw the result 8 months ago I loved the strap, but found the stitching a bit too thin and regular or uniform and will undoubtedly choose hand stitching next time. Another choice I made was to have only one hole punched and I’m happy with it.
Have a nice day!

the photos look amazing. I consider this rose gold and steel version of CdV. do you find this rose gold look more like yellow gold?
also find some posts of this CdV from the account CdV (in abbreviation) from IG, and they look gorgeous and similar to yours
Thank you! I would say that it's a true "rose" gold, not "red" gold, nor "yellow" gold.
It's a little warmer than yellow, but not too copper-coloured (like red gold). The steel version is great too, but I like the dial of the rose gold (and platinum) version better because of the blue tachymeter scale. And the IG account is mine: that's why ...
Yes I do love the blue tachymeter scale. thank you for the rose gold explanation. I like this rose gold more than red gold, and the latter is easier to tarnish.
Do you see your rose gold CdV has some tarnishing pattern?
