Did you try sizing the bracelet yourself ? Love the watch, but it was the worst sizing experience I ever had.

The AD I purchased it from sized it for me but I did the micro adjustment with the help of a few kind TRF members.

I've actually have only seen it once and managed to take a few pics and adjust the bracelet then wifey put it away for my Father's Day gift.
So needless to say I'm looking forward to Father's day !

Congratulations on the fine acquisition and wear it in good health!
Although I have the slate dial/black subs version myself, I love your graphite dial model as well. The red "Automatic"
script sets off the "Tachymetre" on the rehaut so well on your watch. Be prepared for lots of admiring glances!
Best,
Ron
