Aaron Bespoke can make an absolutely mega strap for this watch. The red leather is a little darker than the pics so it is like half a shade more muted than the watch itself making it perfect, the watch still pops, and leather is so much more comfortable than the plasticky oem strap.

Interesting. It looks like this is about 65mm x 105mm but is labeled as a "medium." Looking at the Delugs website, their small is 65mmx105mm and a medium is 70mmx115mm, so 15mm (just over 1/2") difference. That does make a big difference.

I didn't win the lottery (sigh), but was able to buy one at ~15% over MSRP which is scheduled to arrive Monday. It's on the medium strap, so I'm guessing I'll have to either punch an additional hole in the strap (if that's even realistic) or buy another one in order to be able to wear it. My wrist is 6.75", so on the smaller side, but, probably not small enough for the medium strap.

He’s the most charismatic for sure. Max could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves.

The green is too similar to the red due to the black strap. Wish they did a different design for this 3rd iteration

We regret to inform you that the draw has unfortunately not been favourable to you.

Well, there goes ~$5k as I wait for the secondary market.

I’d hold out and see if they do another raffle. That’s my plan at least.

Good plan. Am 10000% cool with Max's raffle, way cool indeed. It's honest and fair.

PS: Hope my WoS AD got one, he really does deserve one.

PPS: Nope, my AD didn't get chosen. :(

Third time unlucky for me - congratulations to those successful. I am still looking forward to my Bel Canto purple arriving April next year!
