Thanks! Is the fit snug for you as well or is there some play?

And do you have front facing pics on wrist?

Thanks so much! This thread is too enabling indeed

I would say its pretty snug.
There is a little play to move it down the wrist a few millimetres but no play to move it around the wrist - if you get what I mean

My wrist varies from 6.8-6.9”. I wear the rubber strap on the 3rd hole and it is comfortable and not tight. Two holes measure approximately 9/16”. My guess is you would be on the first hole and it won’t be tight.

Sweet, I'm hoping others with smaller wrists can provide front wrist shots

Flying Clog: i see you mentioned a boutique stated by Q2 more straps would be available. Did they have confirmation from corporate and do you know if we can send the watch to them to exchange the strap to prevent at home erors?

Still nothing from them regarding replacement straps and I have my name down for a blue/grey fabric strap when they are available.

I'm sure they will swap straps for you.
Whilst it look relatively straight forward with good access to the spring bars - the rubber strap is a very snug fit.

Has anyone with an iphone 12 had issues with the watch running fast? Like a few hours too fast? Wondering if the one i got became magnetized or is a factory defect

Many thanks for enabling OP .

Picked up one myself and couldn’t be happier. Opted for the titanium / DLC titanium combo. The contrast is subtle IRL and works very well. The micro adjust is brilliant and really helps in finding the right fit.

I suspect you may find it too small for your liking. Best would to try on your wrist.

This is a gorgeous watch and this thread basically convinced me I want one 😁. Made an appointment to check one out locally at the boutique next weekend. Thanks for all the great hands on reviews

Beautiful watch and an interesting piece. Totally missed this one coming out. I’ve reached out to my sales associate to see if she can bring one in for me.

It was surprising to get asked about the watch recently - the first occasion at Wempe in NYC earlier this month where one of the managers walked up to ask to see it, and then again this week at Hamilton’s in Princeton where the store manager came over to take a look as he had not seen one in person, and then was telling the lady assisting us on how this was a rare piece, was sold out and tough to find. Not sure about rare and tough to find, but it was interesting to see this piece get noticed.

Same here. I can't have a 4:30 date. If not for that date I'd be on my bike to the Hermes store near me...

It's just like my friends who swear off Tequila because of a bad experience...and miss out on the wonderful world of Mezcal.

I really think you should see it person and decide. The date is small, unobtrusive, and blends well with the piece. Plus font is killer.

I normally hate date windows, but this one is just fine. No regrets with this piece.
