here's some photos. haven't unwrapped it yet, im always scared when they are this pristine.... at least when you get something from a dealer there may be tiny handling marks and i don't feel as bad. the gronefeld isn't a large watch by any means but it dwarfs this one.

Wow congrats!! Really looks great on you too!! You must have faster FedEx service than Chicago

I’ll try and post pics tomorrow assuming my delivery is on time. The first thing I’m doing is taking it off the stock blue croc strap. I just don’t care for that and have some Delugs straps to try out on it.

Love how the Kirazuri finish really comes through on the dial in your live pictures!

Excellent watches! They indeed look truly amazing. congratulations!

Curious and fastening that GS can have so many different dials and each one turns out to be a work of art. Each one a masterpiece in there own perspective. I don't believe no other watch company takes such a interest in there unwavering workmanship. Beautiful!

Just got it. Honestly, I love it. Proportions are on point. Polishing is incredible as always. The kirazuri is subtle unless in direct sunlight (which I like).

Mine just arrived as well and ordered on a whim originally without knowing if I'd like it..

Man is it nice in person, glad I pulled the trigger, this one is a keeper!

Man that sucks.

The strap is a very dark navy blue btw. Gonna change it immediately. Way too long for my wrist.

Once again FedEx fails. My package is now “untraceable” meaning they have no idea where it’s at. I truly don’t understand how they stay afloat as they mess up literally every shipment with my name on it

For now I’ll live vicariously through those of you getting it!!

That’s amazing even for a 37 watch they supply too long a strap. Who do you think is buying a 37 watch. Guys 6.75 and below mostly. It’s amazing how straps are an afterthought.

Don't even get me started. They were a nightmare trying to get a watch shipped to me from Singapore.

Haha, exactly. I currently have 7 unused holes on this strap.

....April, '22 ?!? damn, that sucks, sorry to hear

I ordered mine only after 1) walked in after dinner after it had been "released" online and 2) after a lengthy internal debate....that is to say I was not anywhere the first wave of buyers yet mine is on a delivery truck somewhere in GA.

Incredible, thanks for posting.

if teal is a mix of blue and green, this looks like more blue than green which is perfect.

have you noticed any hints of green yet?!?

Now Apr 22 is a surprise. I thought they’d be ready for Nov 21 with the entire number of 275s, 273s and 277s.

My 277, according to the AD, was scheduled for Nov. But now hearing about April allocations well, who knows when…

I should receive mine later today if I can believe FedEx . . . . with my small wrist the strap will be too long, I ordered a bracelet when the watch order went in but the Boutique tells me it will be a couple months wait, guess I can make do with the strap till that arrives.

The strap on this one is 80/115. Most "standard" length straps are 75/110.

Since the lug-to-lug is under 45 mm, it does make some sense to ship this watch on a slightly longer strap.

Agree to disagree here. I'm with ap1, large portion of the people ordering a 37mm watch will have average to below average wrist sizes. There was no need to adjust and use a longer than average strap.

Nice! Can't wait to see your watch on a bracelet.

Honestly, even for average wrist size this strap is too long.
