At first glance, yes the bracelet looks a tad small. Once you wear the watch for a full day or better you realize that the standard size bracelet fits perfect. My Breitling Bentley gets way to constricting with its wide bracelet after wearing it more than a few hours.

Models with engraving between the lugs have it also

Was this ever a relevant marking ? Are only certain rep factories stamping the cases with a "R" ?

Thanks. I'm gonna order it from josh. Half price is deff worth the wait.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/jwl/2214875017.html Want to pick this up today (local to me) $900 too much ? is this watch pretty close ? I'm interested in the one with the steel bracelet.

Thanks for the input guys

Why is the 3186 always more ? Because its the "clone" movt ? I can only imagine that would be a plus if you were trying to scam somebody.

Major difference ? What do you prefer ? Picking up a new ceramic GMT Thursday, which one should I get ?

Watch is losing about 5 mins a day. Are there any simple adjustments I can make ?

Thanks for all the comments guys. Yes it is a BIG watch, probably not something you would wear everyday. As most of you, I am a watch collector and wish to acquire many different types of watches rather than 30+ black submariners. As for the clasp... For now... I super glued the adjustment to the notch I feel will be comfortable. I could also extend the clasp all the way out and just cut the strap to fit me there but then I have no room for growth. I'm not going to buy a gen clasp since I will probably not wear this everyday. FYI ... I am going to visit my local guy here in the states so if any of you CONUS guys are looking for anything let me know. I'm gonna pick up a 45mm PO for myself today.

Got this watch from josh in 6 days ! Packed very well, no problems. Very happy with the ploprof except for the adj clasp, which seems to be a problem with everyone. The lume on it is 100% perfect ! Very bright !

This thing is a $35 canal st piece of crap.
