Part II - Incoming 5740G! Waited for over a year!

Hi everyone!

Apologies for the delay in getting the pictures up. Been busy lately. So after wearing this watch for almost 10 days now, here are some of my thoughts regarding this watch!

- The blue dial is absolutely stunning! Under different lightings show a different shade of blue. It’s definitely a very different shade of blue comparing to the 5711, 5712 and 5726 where they all lean towards a more greyish blue. The 5811 display a more deep sea kinda blue. The 5740 on the other hand, is a more electrifying kinda of blue. It’s very sharp and just pops out at you. You just basically can’t stop staring at it all the time. And when you do stare at it you’re not trying to know the time or date but just admire the beauty of it.

- The weight of this watch is absolutely sublime! Very well balanced! You feel the weight definitely but in a sense that gives you the reassurance that you’re wearing something with substance and quality. Not to mention the slim case which makes this watch all the more impressive!

- The new bracelet is also very comfortable and now also with the newly implemented micro adjustment mechanism for warmer weather. Very easy to use.

So to sum it up, this is a watch that will not disappoint and continue to provide endless moment of tranquil pleasure and happiness on the wrist. A definite buy for anyone looking for something very special.

Again very glad and grateful I was allocated with this beauty and without further ado please enjoy the pics! Ladies and gentlemen enjoy!

Congrats again.

For a moment, from your first post, I thought you were allowed to take the sealed box home.
