New watch

I just got this watch today as a graduation gift from my family. I was planning on buying my own after Memorial Day (I even have a call into my banker to transfer some money) so this was a very unexpected but pleasant surprise!

Unfortauntely the AD closest to my house is closed and won't be open until Tuesday so no wrist time yet.

One other question. When my dad bought it the owner (I think) of the store in New Jersey told him to have me come back with the watch to get it sized and fill out the warranty info. It was bought BNIB from the AD but I do not the warranty card with the serial number or my name/date. Is it common for the AD to want me to be there in person to fill all that out?

Onto the pics!:

Thanks everyone. I graduated from American University in DC. Here are two more photos from my iPhone. I hope to have some much better pictures when I get back to DC and have my camera.

Great watch. To answer your question, don't worry, the warranty card will no doubt be supplied when you visit the AD. Not having it filled out makes it easier for them should you want to change to another watch.

Congrats on the graduation and watch! As Adam said, The AD will fill out the warranty card when you get there. When a watch is a gift, they sometimes wait on the card to make sure you want to keep it and not return it.
