This is probably my fastest purchase as I make payment and make dash to exit due to time limit. The watch is unsized and even the showroom plastic wrapping still on. Upon reaching home and everything settled, I start to have closer look on the purchase. First impression, it’s big lol. I worn RO 41mm without it overpowering my wrist but this seem like much bigger.

Ok, question time. Anyone feel that the date adjustment feel “cheap”? The stem, crown and winding feel cheap. Perhaps I’m used to triplock and heavily damped feel of 3135 on the Sub.

The adjustments feel just fine to me, FWIW. Congratulations on a beauty. Let us know if you are going to keep it. Yours would be 48 as we creep up on the half century mark!!!
