I needed to look up the pics to see what you mean regarding the lugs, but now I understand. I think you're right, it looks as if the strap connects to the lugs a little too near the case. Maybe a combination between my small wrists (16.5 cm) and the still stiff leather strap. I didn't notice it when wearing the watch, so it's not a huge problem, but it could be more elegant if it was 0.5mm to the outside.
As always, the post is not to bring up envy, but rather to share my pleasure with this great forum. Thank you for the kind words, Luca, it's much appreciated.
Cordiali saluti,
Daniel
