Am I the only one who thinks the 22mm lug-width doesn't really work with this watch? I think a 20mm band would look a lot more elegant on what is basically a dress watch. It's a similar situation to the Orient Bambino - another watch who's lug-width was a little out of place.

russelkI got this in the last drop, and I actually like the lug-width combo. I have a lot of 20mm watches, and they're great. The wider band with this case makes the watch seem smaller on my wrist, and I like it. It's a unique watch already (at least in my collection), and I wear it more as a daily office/casual watch than a dress watch.

russelkI have the blue dial and it really isn‘t a dress watch. The dial is too fussy with information. I’d call it a sports watch with dressier vibes. I actually think the supplied strap doesnt look too great with it. Changed it to this Hirsch Liberty and haven’t looked back.

DzelgrisTo my eyes that strap is just too wide for a watch of that size. There's like an imbalance. But hey, all that matters is that the wearer likes it.
That's definitely a nice looking strap though. I've been thinking of getting a Liberty for my Citizen Nighthawk. What does it feel like in terms of stiffness/softness?

russelkAhh, I find I prefer straps to be close in width to the case diameter even for my smallest pieces. I see where you’re coming from with your preference, though!
As for the Liberty, it’s supple but very thick, which makes it definitely more rigid than say a Colareb strap. I wouldn’t say it was soft, but certainly far from the stiffness of most OEM straps (The horrible cardboard feel that plagues stock straps on even the more expensive midrange watches). I like how mine takes to my wrist shape really easily as proof to it’s suppleness, but keeps the watch feeling sturdy well after it’s been broken in.
