PM you David.

Thanks Hobbit, i'm still thinking to go for calf or shell cordovan, will look in :)

recently i read about the newer version should came with 300m on the dial, and i was a bit worry i bought an older batch of LLD, but after check around watchuseek, some mention the 300m has discont and continue production without 300m, not sure how true it is...

Somehow from this angle i feel the strap is too thick for the watch.

Personally the watch should come with a thicker sail cloth strap or a rubber strap. But since I don't swim (was told I float pretty well), wearing it with a leather strap is ok by me. It is not that thick actually the strap. Does not help that the old has thin lugs.

Wow... the poison is strong in here :D

Picked up my LLD yesterday evening. It was admittedly a super impulse buy. I literally had the urge after lunch after browsing through some pics on Instagram. Called up some contacts. Whatsapp'd some MWF folks. Skipped work early to swing by my AD to nego, nego, nego... and they finally gave me an attractive price.



Didn't expect the presentation box to be so large and heavy. Now... any recommendation to where I can get some nice leather straps? I would like to swap it within the week, so that I can bring it along for my beach vacay in Boracay next week  :Praying:

Greets!

So, just a quick update. I changed from the standard strap...


...to a coal horween...


...but found that a tan horween suited the LLD best...


And here's what I noticed earlier today; the inner bezel rotates by itself!?


Just wanted to quickly check to see if anyone else is facing this problem. I've basically screwed the crown down properly, but after continuous wear of a few days, I noticed the bezel had moved ever so slightly! In fact, if you look at the last two pics I posted (5th Oct - 21st Oct), you'll see just how much the bezel has 'moved'.

Hello,

I think I can swear mine also the inner bezel moved once.

I thought I didn't screw screw the crown properly, but I think I did

Yes! I checked, and double checked when I noticed, and can confirm that the crown has been screwed in properly. I literally had to unscrew, realign, then lock the crown in place again. Will keep on monitoring. This is the second time it has happened to me; so I'll definitely keep an eye out.

Anyone else also facing this on their LLDs?
