In camp my first ladies watch

Just kidding - it's for my wife. I asked my AD to cut the strap to my wrist for photo op, and then size to my wife's wrist. Lucky we got it just ahead of the price increase.

I like this 5261R though and wish it's mine.

Congrats to your wife. I love the look of this piece and you can pull it off so just go get another strap

That looks good on you. Are you sure that your wife doesn’t like to wear them a little loose so both of you can wear it? Congratulations!

Thanks! That's what I thought and I will be getting another strap for myself

Thanks! Her wrist is very small and this configuration is way too loose for her

Is it a push crown or a screw down crown? These are great watches

I was trying to "unscrew" the crown earlier but couldn't find any traction. AD then told me to pull the crown out for adjustment and it works.

Congrats! Looks great! I think you should buy second rubber strap sized for your wrist so you can "borrow" it :)

Perfect size for you, and a great look, Michael. Looks like you need a pair of them.

Congrats to your wife on a great watch and a better husband!

Great looking on your wrist. I loved it when it came out. You definitely need a new rubber strap for yourself.
