Hi, everyone

As I said before I had ordered the Squarematic "Art Nouveau" by Lindburgh & Benson/Schaumberg Watch.  Well, I'm pretty excited as the watch arrived yesterday.  The transaction went smoothly.  Watchbuys' guys are very thorough and helpful.  The watch was out of stock, so they ordered it from Germany.  Didn't take very long at all.
My apologies for not having any pictures right now.  I'll add them later.
My first impression of this bi-compax chronograph was that it was huge.  The size is 40X40X14mm, and, because it is square, it appears even larger.  I tried hard to look for any defects and imperfections, but in vain.  The qaulity of build, fit, and finish are impecable.  Not a scratch anywhere, nor a speck of dust on the movement.  The movement itself is finished very nicely.  It's an ETA 2824-2 modified by D-D, which turns it into a chronograph.
The leather strap is 24mm and nice and thick.  Comes with a standard clasp, although very nicely engraved with L&B.  It does tend to be sort of difficult to put on and take off due to the size of the watch and the strap.  I'm definitely going to get a deployant clasp for this monster. 
Any ideas on a quality, price no object, brushed steel deployant clasp in 22mm (I guess)?
This is just a short "I'm excited!" review.  Not really a review.  Will post a more engaging one with pics later.
