New Arrival - SOH 46

[Srhdad]

Went back and forth between 42 and 46, blue or black bezel, white or black dial, etc. Stopped by an AD and tried on several. Settled on black/black 46. Blue/blue and blue/white were definitely more striking looking, but I felt like they'd get tiresome to look at after some time went by...and another flip would occur. Black/black just seems easy on the eyes, not as flashy and more likely to become a permanent stable mate.

Largest watch I've ever worn (7.25" wrist), but once strapped on, for some reason it looked better to my eye than the 42mm version. That 24mm bracelet is a bit flashy, but I'm going to give it some wrist time before trying other straps...although I have two on order. Very comfortable considering size. Build quality is second to none and being only 13mm thick I suspect it will see wrist time for business and pleasure.

Here she is (crappy I-phone pic):

Thanks! Noticed the GTech avatar. I have a son starting his junior year there this August. Aerospace Engineering. Much smarter kid than his dad ever was! Puts a dent in the watch budget, but well worth it!

Awesome! Well then congrats on both son and watch!

I can guarantee he's getting some of the best education in the nation. I was ME '03. GT usually ranks 1 to 5 nationally in each engineering discipline. They have been ranked #1 for best value as well. I could go on and on, but overall your son will do great!

BTW...what's the good word?

Ok, ya got me. I suppose there's a GT secret code word I should know? The good word probably isn't "Superocean". I give.
