Very beautiful, but the bracelet buckle isn't up to standard.
It was the design and colors that really appealed to me. These pastel colors are beautiful and quite rare in watchmaking. The new dimensions (39 mm) of the Captain Cook made it compatible with my wrist, and I don't regret it. The case is rather simple, but the dial and bezel are superb. BUT, and there is a "but," the bracelet clasp is absolutely terrible. No micro-adjustment, no half-link (one day customer service told me there was, and the next day it was no)—for a watch costing over €2,500, it's shameful! I can't find the ideal adjustment and therefore wear it on an Avel&Men strap.
