WOW! That Ficelle GHW is Gorgeous! Love the amethyst as well!
Thank you so much! I got the Amethyst in March and the Ficelle on Monday! I wanted to try a KDT with a clic H bracelet (that I was buying) to see how the two would fit together and really hadn't planned on buying the Ficelle, too. But, well...you know how that goes!
Perfect classics, scholastican! These will go with everything!
I would say that the small fits perfectly without any turning. I don't have any regular leathers, so don't know if they fit looser. I do know that my KDTs fit snugger than my Rivales. I have Rivales in a small and all of them twirl around like this:
Added info: Since there is more hardware on the KDTs than on the Rivales, that fills up space to make the bracelet tighter. Does that make sense?
That makes perfect sense! Thanks for explaining. Maybe I'll get a kdt sooner than planned!
Never got a change to post this but here is my KDT!! Wonderfully pre-loved by jeshika here on TPF.
Here is my rouge casaque KDT with ghw paired together with a few of my other favourite things!!
That is so beautiful! What color is it?
I love that black! Very beautiful!
Does it fit snug on your wrist without turning?
Thank you! It does fit snugly on the wrist at the moment. It is, however, brand new, so I cannot as yet say if it will remain snug as time goes by and it is used more. I've had varied feedback from SAs, some say fit remains the same as when you first try it on while others say leather "gives" eventually. What I have observed is the turn lock will cause the bracelet to turn, either 90 degrees or 180, if I wear a long sleeved top. Presumably the hardware moves as it comes into contact with clothing sleeves coupled with hand/wrist/arm movement.
On a side note, DH initially thought size M too tight on his wrist. After being persuaded to try several of the exact same KDT, he happily found one more comfortable on his wrist, to his liking.
And here is barenia XS on my 6" wrist. This one felt stiff the first time I put it on, but by the third time I wore it, the leather definitely felt broken in, more pliable. Am thinking different leathers will feel differently(just like the structure they provide for bags), so am curious if anyone has thoughts regarding how different leathers in the same size KDT feel/wear. Maybe those who have several can chime in

Triplets with you guys!! I have a Small in Amethyst Gator but wished that there was an XS because my wrist is 5.5". It does turn around a bit, but I am getting used to it being a looser bracelet feel unlike my Kelly 2 watch which fits more tightly.
I LOVE the Ficelle - what an AMAZING color!
