Incoming - silver dial 15450ST
After posting a thread for advice (newbie) - I decided to bite the bullet and get a 15450ST. Its my first modern AP and I "gambled" on getting the 37mm and I think it worked out well. What do you all think on the size? My wrist is roughly 6.5-6.75". Thanks for all the advice and guidance.

Congrats!

It looks great on your wrist.

Did you need to take one link out?

It is 100% a do it yourself job if you have the proper sized screw drivers. Be very careful and make sure you’re applying enough pressure to not let it slip. My first time it was a tad tighter than expected and the screwdriver slipped and caused a minor scratch on side of the link. Not the biggest deal, but would have been avoided with more pressure to begin with.

Here is the email from AP Clearwater on their recommendations for proper tools:

A watch that fits your wrist with a movement that fits the watch case, what could be better?

You can DIY per above comment or you can go to the boutique/AD, they will do it for you free of charge.

If you DIY, you can put tape around that area to prevent scratches on the links in case you slip your screwdriver.

Nope - I did not buy it from the AP Boutique. I visited them and they had a sum total of 2 watches - no RO's of any form. I told them I'd be interested in buying something and it was a nice brief chat and they took down my details. Not sure I'll be holding my breath but i am local and only a few miles away.
