Excellent choice! One of my daily wearers. Great weight on the wrist. I also ordered the deployant clasp. That clasp makes the watch perfect IMHO.

Be prepared to wait. I was told 15 weeks. After that period expired, I was told another 6. Still waiting....

Well, that photo is of my actual watch just arrived at AD, waiting to be shipped to me. I only waited couple of weeks from the date of order.

Regarding the strap, my understanding is that it is a custom piece that falls into a queue. I was quite surprised by the lead time. I figured they had a drawer of them and could supply it relatively quickly.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the watch. I was told that the clasp is available and should be here shortly and I was assured that it fits the existing strap perfectly. There are 2 choices: gold and platinum which look identical, so I chose gold. I am not sure if the difference in weight would matter.

Well, that is a much better prognosis than I received. Please let me know what shortly means when you receive it. I ordered the platinum and was told that it was custom for this model. I doubt the weight difference will be noticeable. The piece itself is very substantial and I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

I wasn't told anything about the custom, but I am getting this one that is apparently common among models.

Yup, that's the same one that I am getting but in platinum. Just taking a lot longer than anticipated.

Wait! You already received your clasp?? I am very happy for you but I am going to drive over and kick my AD in the nuts.

They just told me that I would not be getting it this year. More like January or February. Again congrats, yours is now complete.

Hey do you want me to ask if my AD can get you one?

Ugh, thanks for kicking me when I'm down. Here I thought my AD loved me. I feel so used.

For what it’s worth I had a 5990 and sold it. I found it to be a little bit odd, and neither here nor there. For work I preferred slimmer pieces and for travel I preferred my BLNR which is fine to get banged up. The 5990 was too bulky for the office, and too delicate for (my) travels.

Bear in mind I have small (6.6-6.75 inch) wrists so your mileage may vary.
