Got here today, at half of Amazon's price... Pictures are pretty bad (mobile phone), but I got a nice surprise, as on the seller's website, it showed an oyster clasp, but got a scissors one (which I prefer).

Crappiest box I have received so far, but the watch is nice. Weird way of changing the date, though. I thought the watch was defective at first.

Well, this is getting a bit out of control. I am waiting for my new Orange Monster, and for a replacement for the DOA Golana I got, and have had to restrain myself from buying more stuff... I am trying to delay my next purchase until I no not have any "in transit" stuff left, but I do not know if I will be able...

The bracelet is very nice. It has 5 brushed links plus 2 smaller polished links (see pic).

It is one of the two most comfortable I have, the other one being the one on a 36mm Raymond Weil Fidelio.

One nice thing about the less than great box is that it can lower the cost of shipping. I have some boxes that weigh a pound with the watch in it. That means $8 to $10 for shipping in the U.S.

A heavy wood box can really get expensive.

One bonus for me: saw the watch today in an AD, and the price I paid is 20% of what they charge here  subtlelaugh.gif

Hopefully it was made after they moved to the new factory.

Here is a better quality pic (with an appropriate background...)
