How many times per minute are you hitting refresh on the FedEx tracking site?

I hate waiting for FedEx anything else is cool. FedEx in my area has no consistency.

I was last night constantly. I had no idea it was shipping from Houston. There were bright bold red headings all over the tracking site about the delays from the devastation. Once it was out for delivery, I opened the door and posted up. Still waiting.....lol

Wow. So much nicer in the flesh than pictures!!!!

I couldn't quite figure out how to even open the clasp for a minute. I was scared of messing it up. Total Nautilus noob!

It is too short though so can't even wear it out tonight :-( There are two links removed so will need to put them back onto the bracelet. I asked for it to be sized like my 5167 that I traded but it was sized too small. I will need every link it looks like.

How many total links should there be?

I couldn't figure out how to post pic so had to use tap talk which I still don't know how to use lol.

I've taken many bracelets apart before so do any of you think I should worry about sizing this one myself? It is gold which will be the only difference but I do have tools and tape to properly size it to the best of my abilities. I was told the pins are straight and look like it so don't see how can really mess anything up.

Thoughts?

Wow, looks beautiful, mate, congrats! Always love it when they forget to put the crystal on so you can really glimpse that sweet dial.

Thanks again guys!

This piece is still blowing me away and find myself walking to the bedroom just to look at it again lol. I'm not messing with the bracelet but will have to let a regular watchmaker size it instead of an AD which isn't a big deal. Looks straight forward enough.

I pretty much lose two days from distraction every time I have a watch coming in!
