The OEM strap is actually very comfortable. The added plus however is the design on the OEM strap is simply made to go with the dial on the watch.

It simply disappears on ones wrist.

That is until you need the time or date.


Or better yet until you just feel like staring at it.

HUGE Congrats!
I am jealous, wear it in best of health.

Can't wait to see some wrist shots once you get it sized.

I think Id be tempted to get the local AD to size it for me but then again I doubt Id be able to wait till I could get there (it's about an hr away) and I am sure Id likely do it myself.... Forcing the strap back into the buckle doesn't sound too easy or too fun.

Since you bought it elsewhere will the PP AD resize it for you for free?
I wonder what tool will the salesman use while you wait...

Hey Stevo, you could call Paul McCartney and ask HIM how to size the strap!

Oh no Steve, you've crossed to the Dark Side... you know not all of us can follow you there

Although my preference is to sports/tool watches, I LOVE that watch

Huge congrats buddy, can't wait to see it in person. Until then, POST SOME WRIST SHOTS PLEASE
