There are a lot of people that can’t wear the Milanese because of the clasp… it’s big for a small wrist. I don’t have a problem with the Milanese and as I said it’s grown on me to some extent over the last couple of years… but I wonder how many people haven’t bought the watch because of that clasp.
IWC do the same with with MkXii pilot watch because the tritium on the original might get into the serviced movement. I believe they will also refuse to service the watch if the change isn’t made (because they can’t guarantee the movement)
