VH Classic questions

Dear all,

  I am contemplating getting a Vianney Halter Classic. However, never having an opportunity to try on a live piece, I have a few questions that I hope some experts/owners can shed some light on:

1. Due to the fancy lugs, would this watch take a standard leather strap? or do all replacement straps have to be ordered from VH?

2. How large does the watch wear? I am 6 feet 2, weighing around 200 lbs, and am wondering whether the watch would appear too small on my wrist? I understand that the diameter is 36mm, how does the real "wearing" size compare to, say, a Rolex datejust?

3. Accuracy and reliability of the piece? Any known issues?

4. How does it compare to Voultilainen Observatoire or Dufour's Simplicity? Or do these comparisons make sense?

  Thanks in advance for your insights!

Jon
