Thank you. Yes it’s extremely versatile. I’ve ofther worn it for months without switching.

It sits somewhere between the classic and the asymmetric dial puts a spin on it that makes it work for informal as well. Just change the strap and it works differently. I brought it with me on a tho weeks vacation recently and took 3 different straps with me. + it just sits so comfortably on the wrist.

Hey Christian

Hope you’re enjoying the snow! You’re probably sick of seeing this one but I changed straps so…promise it’s the last time I’ll post it.
