Had to wait two weeks after the call, but pretty stoked to get this today (warning:pi

The wait allowed this to come in. Pretty amazing in the metal!

17ish cm wrist for those wondering

Looks nice!

Did you buy it on the bracelet? Or add it separately?

Thought it was only available on black rubber, which is a strange combo for the precious metal bezel and ice blue dial.

I had my ad order it for me. Looks way better this way!

That dial looks amazing. Slick bezel too. Great looking watch. Is that a 42 or 44?

There's nothing exciting going on over at the Rolex page lately. I need to come over here for the real action.

42 is perfect for this watch. This came on the OEM strap didn't it? Then you added the bracelet? I really like the look of this bracelet

I've loved this bracelet since the watch's release and almost pulled the trigger a few times but couldn't settle on a dial. I knew when I saw this it was the one! The watch has the heft of a PM piece, and I'm a much bigger fan of this than my old SMP chrono.

Yes, it only comes on the rubber strap. I had the AD order the bracelet. I think the rubber strap may be comfy, but it's so long I'm going to have to trim the rubber. Breitling makes a deployant that hides the strap end like Omega, but they didn't use that on this. Honestly, the strap almost seems like it's made to fit over a wetsuit it's so long. Some day I may put it back on, but you know me, I have other strap ideas for this one

I know you’ve only had it for a short time but how do you think the platinum bezel will hold up?

Not concerned about it. I’ve hit it a couple times on things accidentally, and there aren’t any dings yet.

That watch is stunning, seen one at the AD. Even better in person. Congratulations!
