Very good move. Not everywhere has the same climate as Piaget's head office. Places like Viet Nam and Thailand make quick work of leather straps. I've been keen on the Piaget Polo for a long time, perhaps I'll try this one.
Love the slight variation to the dial... kudos to Piaget for finding a way to get symbiosis with the slightly thicker gauge stripes of the rubber strap. (Should be available for all Piaget colors)
This watch is stunning in person. I never really paid attention to to Piaget before. I was walking through the Hong Kong airport and this watch caught my eye. The dial plays with the light. The fit and finish is top notch. Really surprised the Polo doesn’t get more love from collectors.
Yeah, gotta agree with you there. This style of Piaget looks best, IMO, when coupled with the rubber strap. The rubber strap, I think, lends itself to the sporty nature of the watch, and it would likely be practical because it's lighter if you're wearing it and playing sports.
