At last...the Magrette chronographs!!!

Just confirming with those who have it, the watch uses regular springbars and not screwbars, right?

EDIT: They're also looking a lot darker than the website photos Are they more like a gunmetal or a black?

Just picked up mine this morning at the post office. Very happy!







X2 on the stock Magrette site photos not doing this thing justice. It's way more visually appealing in real life than the internet pictures show it as.

Its BLACK. And they are spring bars.

Raza, regular spring bars, and the finish is in my opinion looks Black chrome at bezel and polished areas, and it gives it a gunmetal tint & the PVD is a tint off the black marker.

Nice watch, congrats! Just a quick question, maybe its the pic, but it seems there is lug damage on the 12 o'clock side. Did you do a strap swap, did it come this way or is it a photo anomoly?

Nope, the top of the watch is a gloss finish. Just a trick of the light! Whew!

Buckle is brushed, not PVD. I'll probably replace my buckle with a PVD one though I think.

The brown strap is supposed to have a PVD buckle, at least so it say's on the european homepage. Maybe it's something Stephan added for the european market!

Ahhh, interesting. If there is a PVD Magrette buckle in existence I could definitely be persuaded into obtaining one somehow.

Sadly nothing to report, mine above is on the brown/PVD strap and it has no markings on it at all. The leather does have the shield embossed into it.

Right now it is on a baseball glove strap from Red12 straps.
