    Could you measure the case/bar strap gap please? It looks rather large in pictures and your video and I'm interested to know just how large it is.

    Thank you! I guessed it would be at least 3mm looking at the gap's width proportional to it's 22mm length. The watch is crying out for a Haveston Forecastle by the way. ;-)

    Pity they don't do 'sand'.

    They do in all but name. Their M-1918C starts off life as a nice dark sand colour, but lightens up beautifully with wear and washing.

    You don’t have similar photo’s of the Bakelite version do you.

    Also, if you’ve got any of the dazzle camo 👍

    Both the before and after browns of that strap look gorgeous by the way.

    The Bakelites I have are too new to have any appreciable fading. I don't have a Dazzle, but being synthetic I don't expect they'll fade much, if at all. The 3 Havestons I have from their pre canvas days have all retained their colour.
