Very nice pick up.

I don't know what is different between the Dassari with the deployant clasp, vs their standard sailcloth, but I have some of their standard sailcloth straps, and they are nice for the price (especially on sale), but they were not soft to me. The do look great though. I put one on my Hanhart 417 ES, and my wife put on on her Swatch X Blancpain Ocean of Storms. My wife daily wore hers few a few months, and the strap cracked at the buckle. To StrapCo's credit they replaced it under warranty for free.

It looks good, but that's a steep price. It's like $1000 above the street price of the 43mm Lunar Pilot. I really couldn't tell what is special about this besides the new smaller size. The good news is, this is likely the first release of a new 41mm size. So I'd expect standard versions in 41mm to be coming soon. Hopefully below $1K street price.

@Sean Kavanaugh I think folks are on the right track with Magnetism, unless you recently gave the watch a hard knock like dropping it. If you happen to have a compass, you can put the watch near the compass and see if the watch causes the compass to react. I have had decent luck with the cheap demagnetizers you can get off of Amazon. Do you know what movement is in your watch?
