Horological Meandering

- the stainless steel hands don't look so good to me: I'd preferred them to be painted white, like the original St. Gallens, or even black.

We wanted the hands to be stealthy so white was not possible: plain steel was chosen but too flat to reflect light. An improvement would be facets or bevels on the hands but then the shape would change.

- I've read on the Forum about the misalignment of the dial indexes with the bezel ones; well, I was fortunate: my piece is perfect!

The dial and bezel indices are perfectly aligned. The on-line complaints were different. Actually, the complaints were mostly from one person who thought the dial carbon weave was not aligned to the cardinal points of 12-6 and 3-9 on his watch. Talking to the manufacturer, they stated that  they use real carbon fibre embedded in resin so the orientation of the fibres are not precise enough to act as dial markers. The slight variance between dials proves they are not printed.

I haven't understood how does the metallic ”support” – found inside the box – works and I haven't found information on what kind of disinfectants I should use. Maybe the big hole in the tail of the strap is connected to the disinfecting procedure?

The wire hook holds the watch upright through the big hole in the strap. After scrubbing solid detritus off with the supplied brush, the watch and strap is dipped into jars of hospital-grade disinfectant liquid and retrieved with the supplied wire hook.  

- the buckle, on a first impression, was not so comfortable because it hurts the wrist, but in a few days I've got used to it.
