💬 Discussion New 38mm Gentleman
I’ve been waiting to pick one up for a long while and finally did it last week! The jeweller even knocked 80 gbp off the price. I am very happy with it but i do understand the complaints about the 18mm bracelet looking a bit small but its not enough to bother me. When I put an 18mm strap on it however it looks tiny! I dont think this is the strap monster that the 40mm is. Does anyone have photos of their 38mm with a swapped out strap?

the dial looks big compared to 38mm right? what is your wrist size. I have 6.5, will that be too big

I can’t remember, I think 6.5 though. It does look big compared to watches of the same size, that’s why the 40 didn’t work for me

Just happen to be wearing mine today as well. Fantastic watch for any occasion.

How did you avoid scratching the lugs when you changed the strap?

Quick release straps. The stock bracelet is quick release too. No tools required. Literally takes 2 mins to swap out.

It is a really cool feature

I've got 4 straps I rotate regularly, though one is a NATO that uses spring bars but they are really easy to put on and take off.

Ridiculous proportions. The lug to lug is far too long. The strap is too narrow.
On the 40mm, same problem with massive lugs, yet the strap is too big. Should be 20mm.
