I don’t like the idea of cutting the strap to size my wrist alters in size with the temperature and I have to adjust my straps constantly throughout the day. Also if you came to sell the watch it would have to be to somebody on the same resize as yours. It over priced also
Its a valid question, and not, not easy to answer, this is extremely fine and limited piece consist of many small parts coming beautifully together and assembled by hand in Japan, the movement functions and capabilities are light years ahead of hand wind watch, and most importantly this is aimed at a core gshock fan looking for a very special piece.and to be honest and be subjective i personally would choose an automatic $6600 swiss watch or Grand Seiko spring drive over hand wind, Then we start this question all over again😉
