Thanks, my friend! This is the 40mm. It’s such a fun watch, it’s alive! The ticking, the remontoire, the dead beat seconds.

Got some new shoes...and strapped them onto my Octa Lune and CB.

I had ordered some straps from ACM before COVID and the springbars weren’t thick enough. They immediately stopped selling them and over the coming months sourced new ones. They sent me the replacement straps today (and two additional ones I purchased) and they fit great.

For me, the casual look works better.

I have the 42mm. They are great watches. I love the straps you are using.

Thanks, Gents! More straps are coming...it’s a new addiction (and cheaper than new watches!).........

IS your elegante 40mm or the larger one? Have been debating one myself
