And I can certainly feel his passion and see the appeal 👍🏻

Mine (Green) came about as a product of the community - with a little help from a watch friend, and while I appreciated it from the very beginning, it only started gaining wrist time since some custom straps arrived for it. Don’t get me wrong - find the original strap great from a design point of view, just not particularly comfortable 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh, and the green one pairs really well with Isle of Man green 😉
