If the watch has a date function, the OCD part of me simply cannot wear it unless it is correct. :)

commented on Thoughts on leather straps on dive watches? ·

Great question. This subject is debated often and I totally get those who say no, but I've come around to it. Leather may not do well in water, but who says a dive watch must only be worn in water? And we can always change our straps... ;)

Yes, I do understand that feeling! :)

I have this watch and I can honestly say it is my fav. You won’t regret your purchase my friend. The fact that it has an ETA  movement is a plus imho. Any shop can service an ETA. So many “in-house movements” from other manufacturers are based on that movement. It is rock solid. 
 

Plus, if I may rant a tiny bit, the preference for an in-house movement is truly unwarranted. I understand that it adds an air of “legitimacy” for a brand to make that claim, but honestly, in the past, many of the top brands today (including Rolex and Patek) used movements  and cases from other companies and no one batted an eye (until recently.)
