Mine arrived at the local P.O. this morning. Hopefully I'll have it tomorrow.

Congrats to those who've received theirs.

Guys,
From now, both watches will be put on a genuine leather straps ...

I can see why ...

The original "carbon fibre" strap, while very comfortable and good looking, has a bit of a tendency to become unravelled.
I've pulled off a few loose black strands of fibre already and the lug ends don't look as if they will last as long as the watch ..they keep chafing against the lugs and are looking a bit worse for wear already.

Ah well ...I'll probably get a watchadoo or similar bracelet sooner than originally planned

Finally got mine five min ago!!!!

No.18 is in Chicago!




Man this thing is really growing on me. Well done guys. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Thanks.

Nice, nice! I'm in Chicago too and impatiently waiting. When did you order?

I ordered on Feb. 5 and mine is still showing in NYC since the 11th.

I am leaning the same way - I really like the watchadoo look on these from the one or two pictures people have posted. I almost never wear bracelets but I think I'm going to give it a go with this one.

Looks good! but it will be difficult as hell to size it.

Just received mine.

Nice looking piece. Really like the large crown.

A few issues:

1. The strap won't size for a <7" wrist (Will need to punch another hole). Not a biggie. I replaced it with a Hirsch Liberty anyhow.

2. The bezel is very much misaligned - the 12:00 lume pip sits either off to the right or left of the 12:00 marker.

How to remedy this?

3. The case finishing is a bit rough. Mine actually looks like several small dings/nicks in the edge, where it meets the bezel.

Had the same problem.

If it's to the left, you've turned it one click too far.
Mine used to be to the right by about half a minute, but after playing with it for a few days it is centering better now. I belive the misalignment will improve as the spring beds in and loses a bit of its force ...mine seems to have.

As for the roughness under the bezel ...thought I had an issue there too ...turned out to be dust from the inside of the box. The velvety stuff inside the box gets chafed during transport and the tiny particles sneak in under the bezel. Slide a bit of paper round under the bezel and you might find your finish improved
