Agreed strap can be shorter but I can understand their mentality of better safe than sorry. I'm happier that it came on a clean tang/buckle versus their clumsy deployant. Got a small wrist and fits nicely for me, 3rd hole from bottom. I actually like this strap more than I thought I would.

17k. Wow! That’s a big ask.
I wonder what these things will actually trade at. |

Hey can you post more pics on the bracelet? That looks completely amazing! I am wondering if my ShoSho bracelet will work on this. That is, IF I actually receive mine. I can’t begin to count how many f-bombs I’ve directed at FedEx today…

How did you manage to get this on? I spent a good 30 minutes at it with some tape, but the tolerances were so tight! And I decided not to risk scratching it up. Did you use a spring bar for this?

I don't have a bracelet yet, I think you may be referring to rocketmastermike's photo?

I recommend using a springbar tool with a good end (not worn down) to be sure you get good contact with the actual springbar....and lots more patience |

Initially, I thought it small, too.....but then I realized I had been wearing my PloProf for a few days, so anything would look small, lol

I’m so jelly. This watch looks great. From what I see on these pics it doesn’t “look” too small.

Patience? What's that? Just attempting that would make me nervous on such a lovely watch. I can just feel the beads of sweet on my forehead (hands shaking) if I attempted such a feat.

Finally arrived. I have to say I was really shocked at the case size, but that’s mostly just due to the size of today’s watches.
I think this is going to look best on a bracelet. I put this Delugs gray ostrich on here which I like better than the stock strap. I’ll try and take better pics this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That didn’t take long for one to get on C24. Asking $15k. Also has the case number showing, which isn’t too smart if you ask me. Since these were purchased online I assume they tied case/serial to Buyer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you look on Chrono24, you will see a ton of listing for the newly released Tiffany dial Seiji from Kurono Tokyo...all at a nice 300% markup.

I think the Chrono24 watch is the same one that’s on eBay. The seller is just asking for an extra 2k on eBay to make up for the eBay fee.

Gorgeous! Did you already have the BOR bracelet? I don’t believe this is possible to order from an AD is it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats, great looking peace. Can you please confirm if GS fixed the QC issue that was present on some SBGW231 watches, where air bubbles were forming on the side of the crystal?

I can’t speak for Calebb99 (or anyone else) but my crystal is bubble free.
Also, I don’t know about ordering from an AD but You can source a bracelet from places like Seiya or Higuchi (in Japan) or get lucky if someone is selling theirs. |
