Got mine a few days ago.
The leather does seem like it'll break in nicely, although I'm not liking the anchor. Its stud gets in the way of things, and allows the fastening point to rotate since there's only a single point where the two ends of the strap fasten. There's a reason why most watches have the longer buckle; they work, don't get in the way, and fastens the strap securely.The stud part is also causing tearing in the hole that it's supposed to squeeze through.
I want to like the straps but having to put up with the anchor isn't really worth it for me.
ladyGI think wlxxv means when you put the ball part of the anchor through the hole to wear the strap and not when you affix the anchor initially. Atleast that's how I read it as.
