    I have a Festina Havana with a lovely black dial that came on a brown strap and it just doesn't sit right in my eyes.

    Great looking watch, has a slightly vintage feel to it. Not a fan of the bracelet, but the dial/case/movement look nice

    40mm and thanx for asking. Well, that's like one out of ~20 votes that I at least get the thumbs up for, on the bracelet, so thank you. Everyone else, thank you for your kind words about the watch. Much appreciated! I will be looking at different strap options and this could be fun to explore.

    Danke all!

    My feeling on the bracelet is that only one person needs to like it

    Cool watch! Fleigers don't usually do it for me but this has something interesting about it.

    Yeah the dials got a kind of nimble quality.

    Wish the hands were equally nimble.

    Exactly right, only you have to like it, and if you do, wear it and enjoy it!

    I actually switched from these hands to the Mercedes (which I preferred):

    Yours has 'cathedral hands' actually - Mercedes are round, not oblong

    Ha the original hands certainly are "nimble" but I can see why you fancied some with a bit more character!
