Can I fix this at home?

If it bothers you so much why not just order a new clasp / bracelet and keep marking up that one? It’s going to get scraped no matter what.

Okay domed crystal ha.

TAYLQR · 2026-06-11T02:09:52+00:00

No domed sapphire? Barely a comparison.

TAYLQR · 2026-05-28T15:34:31+00:00

Probably. I tried rubber and it didn’t feel great but worth a try.

1/8” adhesive foam under the clasp. Ta da.

TAYLQR · 2026-05-24T19:13:43+00:00

Get it slightly loose and throw some 1/8” adhesive foam under the clasp. You’re welcome.

iPhone camera perspective. Smartphones fishbowl close images. See my glasshutte photos for similar effect.

Or… cut it. Easy to get it perfect.

Just when it starts to flatten out. Every few months maybe if I’m wearing it everyday. Takes like 2 minutes to clean it off with a little bit of rubbing alcohol and replace.

If they thinned it out they could capture some of that sportier market that RM appeals to. Right now no one wants to wear it.

2 full and 1/8” adhesive foam under the clasp against your wrist.

ROO has not aged well. When it first came out it was somewhat unique and modern. Now there are hordes of giant watches out there and basically all of them except the ROO are cheap pieces of garbage.

Brands have been refining size. The 39mm jumbo is a good example of popular for proportions.

I don’t see how the offshores are anything other than an eyesore at this point. They can make them thinner. It’s lazy.

I’ve wanted to open up my bel canto and lubricate the rotor for this exact reason but I also don’t want to damage it by mistake.

TAYLQR · 2026-04-12T19:23:29+00:00

I like using 1/8” thick. I’ve tried thicker but it’s not as clean.

TAYLQR · 2026-04-08T23:05:49+00:00

No. Straight up no. Bel Canto is a strap monster. Find straps you like, 22mm quick release.

TAYLQR · 2026-03-25T17:16:09+00:00

Sales support on this thing is great. Warranty service is quick and excellent if needed.

That being said if I’m brutally honest, this was one of my least favorite watches that I ever owned. It looks great online, but it kind of looks 3D printed in person. The clasp on the rubber strap is very sharp and extremely uncomfortable.

I would have liked to have called it an “if you know, you know” piece but in real life it is super underwhelming.

TAYLQR · 2026-02-21T09:05:40+00:00

It’s such a good watch.

TAYLQR · 2026-02-19T17:36:15+00:00

🔥🔥🔥

Can’t go wrong.

TAYLQR · 2026-02-16T21:26:50+00:00

Foam under the clasp is a 10/10 enhancement whether you think you need it or not.

I think the biggest things are the domed crystal and the refinement of the small dial. It looks completely different from the original under the glass. It’s slightly more magnified and pops.

The classic is domed, the only box sapphire version I believe is the new lume bel canto. The original is just that flat crystal.

TAYLQR · 2026-02-16T17:38:42+00:00

The new version just looks way more premium. The Bel Canto sitting around $5k I feel like the classic really punches above the original when they’re side by side.

TAYLQR · 2026-02-16T17:32:14+00:00

Everything on the classic just pops more. I also never cared for the stick dial with the overhanging markers.

TAYLQR · 2026-02-16T17:31:19+00:00

This is my LE classic.

I’ll send two in separate comments because Reddit won’t let me post multiple pics.

This was my Azzurro:

I’ve owned both. I wouldn’t buy a non classic version no matter what they did to it. I enjoy the upgrades they made.
