You have a solid, wiry and boxy wrist, Dalip......perfectly adapted for such a large watch!! Looks terrific!!

And thanks for the clasp pics......but why did you take off the diver's extension? Couldn't you have got it resized by taking off just a couple of links?

That is a serious chunk of watch, Dalip, and you wear it well. Nice wrist shots, too. Congrats again.

I'm a little thrown off... I to see the crown on the left side of the DSSD in the picture, is it because the pic was taken with your computer and maybe the image was inverted? (it looks like you wear your watch on your right arm.... the dial and bezel line up right, but the crown is facing your right hand knuckles)

Wow! Maybe I should give it another shot at the AD. I have tried it on twice now, and both times I say Way Too Big! But on your wrist it looks perfect! Well done!

Dalip, going to sound like a broken record here, but that looks amazing!
I can only hope that, when the time comes for me to post my own wrist shots, I'll get such positive feedback!

Ok, what's up?....the date and crown are at 9:00!

Talk about a major modification. Am I missing something here? Or am I asking a newbie to TRF question?

The veterans aren't asking this question so, maybe I should research the post ;)

Nice watch but probably some of the worst pix (focus wise) that I have ever seen.

Lift your game Dalip.

Since I couldn't read the lettering, I assumed the writing was still correct. Would really be cool to switch for a lefty, though!

Anyway, forgot to say CONGRATS! I've tried and tried to pull it off. Done whatever I could to convince myself I could. Just couldn't do it with my 6 1/2 inch wrists. You, however, can pull it off in a "BIG WAY"! Wear it well!!

No worries, just trying to explain my mistake to another poster. The more I think about it, however, it was silly of me to think that a mod like that would be possible. Glad you able to get the pics out so quickly!
