Hi all AW fans - I need your wisdom! I've looked at the Diego for a LONG time, thought it looked so cool, researched and scoured blogs. So when a classic black/brass came up on a great sale I took the plunge. It just arrived, and....
Hmmm, my first thought of seeing it IRL is kinda underwhelming. Seems kinda odd. Did anyone else have this reaction? Does it "grow" on you, or should it be "love at first sight"?
The leather is pretty nicely pebbled all the way around, but is stiff. I've heard is will soften up...does this happen quite quickly? Will putting some moisturizer on it help this happen faster? I've also read about the edge problems and will get some Edge Kote if I decide to keep it.
I could sell, or exchange for a Rocco. I always thought the Diego looked "cooler" than the Rocco (imho, no offense to Rocco fans!). But maybe a Rocco would be more practical? What should I do? Any input is appreciated! TIA.
