Excellent photo-shots! It's a fantastic watch as I just purchased one myself.

In order to fit the watch to my wrist, the AD had to remove one link from each side of the clasp.

I noticed on your's that the 12 o'clock side looks like you had to remove 3 links and on the 6 o'clock 1 link? How are you finding the fitment?

It's great that you posted all the other stuff like the box that the watch came in. The one thing I noticed is that the boxes for the DSSD is rather small. For a second there when I was leaving the store with watch in hand, I thought the AD may have short-changed me on a bigger, more suitable box.

I guess the medium box is standard.

PS, I noticed I can see the serial number on your warrantee-card in the box. You may want to hide that.

I find that the fitment were very good. (been on my wrist the whole week, sleep and bath with it)

Congrats and wear it in good health! I really like the shots near the window with natural lighting, those are awesome!

As you prolly know by now, the entire face and bezel of the DS is extremely reflective and makes it challenging to shoot so you may wish to pick up a polarizer as someone had suggested to me.

Cheers!,
Tim
