In all the pictures I've seen of the pounder why is there a massive gap between the case lugs and the bracelet? It looks weird.

Here's mine. I had started a thread about this reference a while back but looks like not many are owners of the Brick.

That sounds about right. Maybe around members of TRF probably no more than 5 or 8.

What’s up with the limp fists in these photos? Is the watch so heavy that all the strength the wearer can muster is to lift the watch up for the photo?

Stupid question lol. Why make a fist when we are happy to have the brick. And yes the watch is so heavy we can only muster enough strength to lift it once a day lmao. The only thing heavier is my wallet! Lol

Tried on this watch on bracelet recently.
However the fit is still loose after removing All excess links.
Can the servicing center remove more links by cutting the extra or can the factory customize a shorter one??
Anyone with insight to share..thank you.

I have the same issue. Oddly enough the platinum brick comes with one more removable link so it fits better. You can send to ap service center and they will remove one permanent link and destroy it.
