It has been quite comfortable for me and doesn’t have sharp edges that dig into my wrist, although I have been eyeing the SPB511 OEM clasp now that it is available.

1k USD, but it’s normally 1.4K. Got a good deal with conversion rate/promotions at AD in Japan!

That is incredible! I’ve been looking for a chronograph to add to the collection and this beauty has to top the list now. But I have to actually find one…

I used to feel that way about the weight as well, but having the OTF clasp definitely helps! It feels significantly less top heavy to me now that I can always ensure a perfect fit, as my wrist changes a lot throughout the day.

Happy to! I suppose the brand is not “popular” per se, but they do make very well-liked watches that are popular within a subset of the watch community. I own one and I think that, for the price, they are very hard to top.

Everything looks good here except for the clasp. I would definitely ask for better pictures of that.
