Thank you. The only downside is that my special order second strap is running a few weeks behind so it will be on the standard alligator strap. The strap I ordered is baby blue suede with white stitching which I think will look amazing with that dial.

Strap is easy to swap if you are using the pin buckle. Now for me, swapping the deployant was an issue and I actually destroyed one just a few months ago. It costed $800 to get it sent back to Geneva for repair. 🥹

Do you have a picture of your special order strap that you can share?
Sounds interesting with the MOP dial

I don’t, nor does the boutique until it comes in in a few weeks. I am being told that it isn’t uncommon for Jean Rousseau to lag behind the delivery of the timepiece with special request straps through FPJ. I’m sure it will be worth the wait and of course I will post pics when I get it. In the meantime I’m unboxing the timepiece at the boutique tomorrow with the standard alligator strap.
