What are your thoughts on your new M7?

[Martyd]

The watch is very nice. The case is somewhat heavier than a 44 mm PAM, but it wears about the same. The polishing on the case is excellent. I would like to have seen a better quality finish between the lugs, but that is a minor issue. There have been some posts about the strap cutout between the lugs being off center. My watch seems to suffer from this malady too. I tend to wonder if this is a issue with all of the cases. It really isn't noticeable and doesn't both me. I do think a watch of this quality should have a screw down crown, but that is a minor issue. The lume on the dial is outstanding, as you would expect it to be. The finish is very smooth and it has a pleasant light cream/off white color that looks excellent with the black arabics and hands. I am not sure about the origin of the movement. I assume it is Japanese. The finishing is ok. The second hand does have a slight stutter. I assume the watch is beating at 21,600 bph. I have not had the watch long enough to time it. Last but not least, the leather strap does not do the watch justice. It is not thick enough for a watch of this size and in my opinion, it is not of the highest quality. I replaced it immediately. My rubber strap was missing, so I can't comment on the quality of it.

Rubber strap is in the box. In the lower section by where the watch sits the side flaps pull up. The straps most people love them but some people like them thicker.
