AllergyDoc Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 This came in today. Ordered from Joshua on 7/23, shipped out on 7/25, arrived on 7/29. A heavy watch, as you know. Despite that, it feels balanced on the wrist, likely because of the excellent bracelet. I removed one link from each side and tightened the micro-adjustment one notch to make it fit my 7.5 inch wrist fairly snugly. It started up with a few gentle shakes. The manual winding mechanism feels surprisingly solid. (Still, I wind very s l o w l y.) Shiny bracelet links sparkle and shine, but easily collect finger smudges. The pics: In the shade the dial looks blue due to the AR, I suppose: Next to my SSD, for size comparison: My 4 Breitlings, for size comparison: Next to the EVO: My only minor niggle (word borrowed from the Brits ) is the date font seems "packed" into the date window. I like how the white accents stand out against the black dial. Very striking. A keeper for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cucumber_Jones Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Nice to see a black dial - I thought we all bought the grey one for a moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfran42 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Supper looking watch! That thing is HUGE!!! Does it feel that much bigger than the SSD? I was considering this but WOW...that is a big watch. Does a shirt sleeve fit over it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllergyDoc Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Supper looking watch! That thing is HUGE!!! Does it feel that much bigger than the SSD? I was considering this but WOW...that is a big watch. Does a shirt sleeve fit over it? I have some shirt sleeves it will fit nicely under, some it won't. Not what I would call a "dress" watch. But, wear it out on the town. If someone tries to accost you, clout them over the head with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 My only minor niggle (word borrowed from the Brits ) is the date font seems "packed" into the date window. Same here.... no biggie IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizzanooo Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just when I had my mind made up on the grey dial, now I have to sort this out over another cold one. Nice pics and watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Next to my SSD, for size comparison: OUTCH! The SSD look tinny... not sure if my wrist will be able to handle this beast, I find my SSD/GMTIIC are just the right size for me... my skyland will be here very soon, but I start to choke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
