Wearing it....
Hi Guys,
I must admit that I had some doubts about getting a deployant having read numerous posts about them in general! I bought this deployant 'blind' - it just seemed like a nice addition to a watch I was very happy with. The buckle itself is really nicley made (as is the standard one) - note the bevelled polished edge! It is a lovely thing.
As for wearing it - well, at the moment it is sitting quite nicley BUT it is wearing a little tight to achieve this. The flat metal sections of buckle itself is sitting round the curve at the side of my wrist rather than flat across the inside - if you know what I mean. It seems to actually match the curve of my wrist - which helps. It seems to work ok but I have to admit it's far from perfect. I think thats something that us guys with thin wrists have to accept from deployants. I remember seeing a long debate on a Lange forum about this and decided not to bother with a deployant for my 1815 as a result!
I think the best deployant I have worn was on a Patek Aquanaut - but that was quite a small buckle and has that lovely system where you trim both sides of the composite strap to make it fit properly. That one does work well.
So in summary - a lovely thing, works ok on my wrist but I would definately suggest try before you buy. I may be going back to the normal one!!
Great to hear your thoughts - thanks. I love the 'chat' on here.
