 It's gonna be a little while before I can post any pics of the new Csar.  I had to send it to the Debaufre Service Center for a look-see.  It's running a little fast...on the order of 4 minutes every hour :?

Other than that, I love it.  I have to say that at first I thought I wasn't going to like it because of the strap--it was very stiff.  After working it in some it conformed to my wrist much better.  I also had to pop a couple of new holes in it because my wrist is only 7.25" and the holes on it weren't even close to providing a good fit.

I am definitely going to get a few different straps for it and I've got to find an Allen wrench that fits the socket head machine screws on the lug bars.  I don't know why they only give you one Triton hex tool when you really need two to properly tighten the screws....unless I'm doing something wrong? 

I did wear it a bit even though it was running fast.  I was sitting at the kitchen table resting my head in my hands and I could easily hear the watch ticking--cool.  That's something you don't get with a quartz or even a dive watch with a heavy case.

This is also my first hand-wound watch since I was a kid in the mid 70's.  What would be the best frequency for winding it?  Once a day?
