That strap is gorgeous. I ordered something else non watch-related from him as well. Excited to see how it turns out.

@DavidLane's work really is stunning. I've got a gator in his cue and can't wait for its arrival!

This is going to be good...

Correct. Deployant would be wrong on a Tank LC anyway.

This doesnt make any sense to me. The Cartier Santos Dumont CPCP that I got my wife came with a deployant and I cant imagine describing it as bulky or obtrusive.

He might even be wearing one but too embarrassed to show it, judging by body language...

What doesn’t make sense? Obviously you can pair a deployant with anything you want and Cartier makes a great deployant. The fact that they paired a deployant to your wife’s watch doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be nicer with a buckle. No matter what, a deployant will be much bigger and heavier.

Keep in mind, when CPCP was a thing, the popular WIS belief was that all good watches should have deployants.

Holy hand-polished Breguet numerals, Batman!

Unfortunately (or fortunately), I went with a 6x loupe instead of a 10x. I can’t get super zoomed-in shots.

Trying to take movement photos, but so far nothing very helpful. You can see a lot more looking straight through the loupe with your own eyes.

Uggh don’t ever look at the interior surfaces of your lugs with a loupe. I don’t mean the undersides. I mean where the lug holes are.

That loupe is amazing, it really reveals the flaws that are missed with the naked eye.
