    Got to admit , the Merkur has been a few clicks away many times.
    Can't find much about it. Only seen the one pic. on their facebook site

    Seems very legible. Raised lume. Can't tell whether the place names raised or not , guessing printer , still very clear , and doesn't appear to be a sticker insert.

    Thanks guys.

    How come most 19mm straps taper to16 , look silly , even worse when padded imo. Although got a 19 to 16 flat on order.
