Great. Are the links easy to remove? My wrist is on the small side.

@Larry S is the BOR interchangeable between the two? I love the look of them both and am on the waitlist for the diver, which I’d get on the BOR. I also like the chrono (leaning towards the slate), and that’s available immediately, but doesn’t come on the BOR (which is sold out individually). So wondering if I ended up with both, could I swap the BOR around?

I would e mail. They are super responsive.

Yes, they are interchangeable 😀

@Larry S yes I did just after I posted here. Will post back the reply. Or maybe I don’t need to...
@Hnansen thanks for the info. I emailed anyway to get official confirmation.
@BenBagbag I wonder if that’s tied to the availability of the aquascaphe as that can come with a BOR.
I am seriously tempted by the whole line up. Blue diver and bicompax and maybe slate 3-hander.

Oops, turns out what I actually emailed them about was a question about the case backs, and whether the display back adds thickness over the metal back. They replied and said it does not.
So good news there, and good news above about the BOR.

The BiCompax movement is nicely finished so the sapphire caseback is a must IMO.

It came early!

Now for straps! The stock brown strap or a No. 8 Shell Cordovan? (It's a bit broken in already.)

Live with the supplied strap imo. It’s pretty nice.

Heck ... decided to strap mine on. Too long in the box.

Just got it. Great quality. Great presentation. Solid end links are great.
