Welp, it's here! and it's a beaut! The bracelet is too short and needs 1-1.5 links added for my comfort.
My impressions.. Solid! and beautiful Seems to keep time spot-on. I have only two issues with this watch that I'll have rectified.. 1. A spot on the dial between 6 and 7 (you can make it out in the pics), and the datewheel is just a tad off center.. Small things that you would have to look for granted, but I'll have them corrected all the same.. This watch will end up being my favorite.. Aside from being too tight, it fits well.. weight, size, etc...
Thanks to everyone for the help with this.. It's a great start!
