Thanks morlock and metaljesus.
mortlock, I have read your review, one of the reasons why I want one Like I said, the biggest fear I have is the spinning seconds wheel is jerky. metaljesus, I realize the clasp won't work however I just wanted to make sure a leather strap would fit the watch originally ordered with a metal band and that is looks original.
I'll email andrew and see what the cost of an additional strap will be. Wasn't there someone on the board looking at selling a new grand carrera?
