Loving the finish on it

I must ask my friend - do you snip evenly from each side? Or is it an uneven length on each side?
How did you decide if so, which side would be longer?

I had to snip a bit more from the 6 o"clock side to get the deployant clasp on center.

As you get closer it's easy to figure it out.

My was even, but might depend on your wrist. Just do NOT over cut. It takes a little patience, but worth it.

The blue scuba is indeed my fav! Thanks

Post impressions of it throughout the week, curious to see what you think, you have had and have some substantial pieces!

I went to check out a jumbo at an AD last year.. In my hand however, I just couldn't justify the price? Every time I see it however it's drool worthy. All I know is, enjoy it!

Yeah same here

I might have to put a blanket ban on 5167 posts/threads because this is doing my head in
