For a smaller wrist you need special dimensions of the strap to fit the sport version, otherwise it will sit awkwardly. In that case, I would go for the double-fold deployant.
I am sure the Hirsch...
Great tip!
Looks great!
Gorgeous! Fantastic with the vintage style in 43 mm!

I rarely use the chrono function. I also rarely use the watch itself as I normally look at my computer, phone etc. It's just not the reason I wear one...
Looks really great. I would also be interested in the original watch.
Around 2-3 years is my experience.
I really liked that one from the pictures and was preparing to buy one, but when i checked it out at an AD I was completely underwhelmed and disappointed. Felt quite cheap-ish imho.

Isn't the big problem with dealing with Italy that the Italian postal office is like a big black hole?
In my mind, one of the key precautions would be that they would be using insured courier like...
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
At least mine has an ETA quartz movement. It pretty much means that the movement is what it is and does what it is supposed to, year after year. Nothing special, though.

Does anyone really dive with these things nowadays anyway? Have never seen anyone put anything on but a digital diving computer.
I would keep whichever is more classic (= more versatile). In my opinion, that would be the "white".
Sounds like a good idea, do you have any contact details?
