I agree. I wore mine a lot this summer on the beach, etc and didn't notice any dust or other issues. In fact, I picked up a spare strap I like it so much, just in case mine wears out
TooTall is a true craftsman as evidenced by this strap.
Too bad he doesn't post much here as I know there are a lot of members not exposed to his stuff ...
Another accurate review BT. I have a CHS from the first batch and it is still working great. Like I told the guys at the NYC GTG, I didn't think I would like it but find that I wear it often and am glad it is in my collection. IT is one of the best replications I think we have seen to date.
Would I pay $6K for the genuine.......NO!
I'd get a classic 1675
I find deployants, in general, to be uncomfortable. The correct way to wear a deployant is to have the "Tail" coming back towards the 6:00 side, which is typically opposite a tang buckle installation.
I have the IWC deployant this way and find it to be more comfortable. Oddly, my JLC deployant is the opposite.
