Just got the 422 today..

Its Monday, I called my AD, they had one in stock, went to pick it up couple of minutes ago.

Strap is soft and comfortable, the 47mm size was initially thought of as too large for me, so far so good.

Thanks for reading, and a quick pic...
*gonna get some straps for this one!

Thanks fellas!👍
The weight distribution is quite even on the 422, it sits well.
