Another SAS on the DWC.

Just came through the door and opened it up. Packed perfectly with everything protected and in perfect shape. This thing is a tank and the rubber it came with isn't working so far on my skinny wrist. Time for some strap swaps and getting the bracelet sized, I'll post up some more later and give you my thoughts. So far :thumbsup: Huge fan.

Congratulations!
Try an Isofrane on it. Or some good leather.

I think there was a problem with the first batch of bracelets not being small enough for some people so Graeme made new ones with more removable links in them.

Hot damn! :headbang: I'm gonna get to take a look at one of these first hand in the next week or so. I am giddy with anticipation. Congrats Chris!

I think it will go on the leather for now. I hate sizing bracelets but thats the next order of business. After that a dip in the pool. :fro:

:roll: :roll: :roll: .....I like this one as it does not have all that heavy black lettering on the strap taking away the look of the watch.

I actually like the bracelet (hefty combo) even with a little overhang. I think it will stay on until I get an ISO or a proper sized NATO. :cheers: To all I'll give my impressions later on down the road. So far it's outstanding I'm glad I picked it up.

Great pickup! I'm liking the embossed numbers on the bezel.
