Hi ladies! I am wondering if anyone can help me with a sizing question :) I just received a black box CDC in the smallest T1 size. It only fits my wrist (which measures 6 inches) on the largest setting currently, and I don’t like that that doesn’t leave enough leather strap left to fit the metal piece over the end. Do you think the leather will stretch enough over time for me to be able to use one of the middle settings? Or should I size up to a T2? Thanks so much!!

I have several cdcs and have found that they don’t really stretch that much over time. I wear the cdcs on the 2nd to largest or 3rd setting (only when I’m skinnier. [emoji38] ) and have enough leather to fit the metal piece on the end. I would advise a bigger size if u are not comfortable with not being able to fit the metal piece over the end. My wrist is about 15cm or 5.9 inches and all my cdcs are size small which is supposed to be similar to the current T2 size. Extra small is supposed to be closer to T1 sizing. However I have found that in some style bracelets even the T2 sizes fit smaller than the old size smalls!!!

This is a general question which I'm asking for the second time b/c I didn't get any responses the first time. I am wondering how the Picnic (or wicker) CDC wore, did it stretch out of shape, etc. I gather some of you got one a couple of years ago and now one or two appear sporadically on reseller sites. Can anyone answer? @lanit @Israeli_Flava; etc.?

I have one, it’s still in great shape though the Barenia has a mark from the ring. I haven’t noticed any stretching, it’s a bit bigger than a regular CDC and oval shaped It’s one of my favorite summer pieces!
