Is it just laziness?
It kind would seem that way. Were the strap and attachment point were really an afterthought, or were they pas the point of no return and just decided to plough ahead as rethinking it (or maybe putting any time into it) was possible?
It makes me think of a conversation I had with Romain Gauthier several weeks ago about the straps on the C series and my take away from that was for a watch like the C his view was that the strap was as important as rice is to a Sushi chef (my words not his).
The new Fifty Fathoms Tech is awesome and confusing 🤔
Stopped by the Blancpain boutique to check out the new Tech. I was super excited about this release going in but left totally confused. First off, it looks great, way better than my crappy phone pics can do justice to. The ceramic bezel does a good enough...
