Thanks Virgile. What are you initial thoughts?

I am really happy with this model.

The Heuer 02 movement is really accurate, as on my previous Autavia Heuer 02.

I find the visibility excellent for the dial, unlike the Carrera Heuer 01 (CAR201V). And I prefer the Heuer 02 design (3 - 6 - 9).

It's my first skeleton Carrera 😉

Another impression: I find it lighter and thinner than the Carrera Heuer 01 43mm (reference CAR201Z).

The bracelet has the same design as my Carrera 1887 (CAR2A10) and Carrera Heuer 01 (CAR201Z) and yet the reference is different.

They changed the interior design of the buckle. And I also find it lighter, it needs to be checked on a weighing.

In any case, I am really happy to have it on my wrist, I fell in love at the announcement in Basel 2018 and I was looking forward to it.

Does it include a micro-adjustment system?

It doesn't really concern me because the adjustment allows for a very fine adjustment 😉

What is different compared with the 'old' H-link bracelet then?

I can see that it is different but I'm not sure I see how it provides any adjustment.

I don't know. For me, need to remove one more link vs the old strap.

It looks you’ve removed a half link from the top side due to the difference in the mount pin position on the clasp.?

No TH today, step fathers old work watch, back when after 25years service they handed out gold memento, nice to give everything a day or twos running once in a while.

Small and quite neat compared to the usual wrist wear.

I didn't make the adjustment of the bracelet, I let the professionals do it 😀

When I said you, I did mean the royal 'you' not maybe you personally, but the difference in the pin position circled on the picture looks about the dimension of a half link.

The difference is where on the 'link' the clasp is welded. On the 1887 version, it is towards the 'back' (lhs in the photo) whereas the newer version is towards the 'front' (rhs) but there does not appear to be any adjustment, per se.

Think thats what I was trying to say too, but there are no other holes to choose from.
