I have removed the wetsuit ext link and one further link and have it set on the smallest setting on clasp.

No, just what we are used to plus a note explaining that the instruction manual will follow.

Smaller as in shorter, or thinner, or just different shape?

Do you have a SUBSTANTIALLY stronger preference for lug or case shape, or are they about equally as attractive to you?

Thanks! I haven't had the benefit of seeing both side by side yet

You need to join the owners club my friend, do a search, it was started on Friday.

Enjoy the watch and wear in good health.

Im a vintage guy so to my eyes the SeaDwellers thinner lugs are much closer to the Rolex I know :)
