ROO Diver Strap hole position
Anyone wear the short strap version and on the second hole? I find this the most comfortable for me, it is a little loose but okay. The third hole is tight especially after my wrist expands.

I noticed the AP store manager had his watch set up like this as well. Do you guys have this issue? Thanks

I have a problem and I would like to know what you guys would suggest I do.I bought a 1999 DJ from a seemingly reputable dealer in Germany (I'm in The Netherlands).The watch comes with a service box and all papers and it is in excellent, hardly worn, unpolished condition.But it arrived dead. No shaking or manual winding starts it. Even after many turns of manual winding the feel does not get any stiffer, so my initial guess is a broken mainspring.I talked to the seller and he claims that he checked it and it worked perfectly when he sent it, and gives me three options:1) Clearly, I can send it back for a refund.2) Send back to him for repair and he will send it back to me in working condition. He covers the costs of shipping both ways. But it is clear that he will just replace the mainspring if that is the reason for the fault. I
