Yep 20mm :)

I had the same question. Thanks for clarifying.

Collected 68/80 today. Cup of coffee, chat, and had a look at a C5 all gold. Very nice :D
Also colleted C600-IPK after surgery, now well again :D

Had a look at the W4 love hearts, look good, will see if the wife would like one to go with her W8 Matisse.

The C9FLE crystal has massive depth. Very nice. :D :D

Thanks to Wera, Dan, and Simon. Plus the rest of the crew 8)

I cancelled my pre-order for one of these Red12's at the beginning of September. Since the photos "in the flesh" have been posted over the last few days I'm beginning to wonder if I did the right thing :shock:

Couple more strap swaps - just to see what it looked like - and so you know what to avoid... :)

The black with white stitching works well but not the tan. I would like to see it on a different shade of brown (darker probably) without stitching.

I agree. Maybe it's the red bits and that particular shade of mucky brown. :lol:

Whatever, the brown one is back in the spares box..

Yes, I think I prefer the white stitching to the red which in all but the best light hardly shows at all. I don't think I've read your opinion of the watch yet Richard!?

New strap arrived - a Hirsch Grand Duke and I think it works. The red is a bit more prominent than the factory strap and the alligator pattern gives the watch a bit of a lift IMHO. A few pics below:

Coincidentally, the back matches the blued screws:

And one with my SMP on Hirsch Modena:
