One thing about the sizing though I just got home from having it sized, and I noticed that one of the pins (the one on the end of the clasp) was starting to come out. The same thing also happened on my fathers Orange Monster when I had that sized as well. So, I tapped the pin back in, and I just put a dab of clear super glue (I know bad idea, but I'm never going to get rid of this watch or I'll just take another pin out) on the hole of the link, and she's been sitting right in it's hole ever since !
But ya, she's a GREAT watch, and I will be wearing this as my daily watch from now on.
I hear these Seiko's will last forever !
Mike

Thanks, Mike. Congrats again on the watch.

Thank you

I see all kinds of "unboxing" videos on youtube, so I figured I'd follow the same trend. So far I've done a few unboxing sequences of various different things. I just wish I had a camera better than my iPhones lol
Glad you enjoyed

When sizing the bracelet you have to be pretty careful, on each pin is a tube,sleeve, I didn't have my tools with me and was out at a clients so I dropped into a jeweler and they did the resizing and nearly cost me my watch, they forgot to pop the sleeves back in

Luckily they kept two of them from the removed links.

I should have waitied till I got home to do the adjustment

Here is how to do it and its pretty easy even if you don't have the correct tools, just take your time and you'll be fine
