My newest addition!
I have not been this excited about a watch since my first GMT II way back in the day. I don't have a large wrist by any standard, so I figured "if it fits, I'll buy it. If not, I need to find something else to chase." It definitely wears large and I love it. It's not as heavy as some had warned me, but it's substantial and it's not a watch that you forget you're wearing. If anyone is planning a trip to SF, I *strongly* recommend that you stop by Shapur. Hands down the best AD of any brand I've ever been to. Watches there made me drool - no Rolex. My next AP, whenever that may be (hopefully within a few years), will be from this shop again.
