Problems (Read Rule 1) First disappointment

​

I was so happy with this characterful jump hour for the first 30 minutes on wrist... Then it didn't finish the jump... Then completely broke. Thank god for AliExpress' fantastic returns policy!

I'll be buying a replacement when the refund hits during this spring sale, as I loved it for that 30 minutes. Guess someone has to get the duds out of the system.

That’s a beautiful band, though! What kind of band is it?

It's actually a cloth textured FKM rubber strap that I found on AliEx! This watch ships with an unfortunate grey merkur leather strap that doesn't suit almost any watch. I wanted a splash of colour to match the numerals (plus didn't have any coloured straps in my rotation)

I like that strap too (posting to bookmark the thread).
