 Yes.  Its unreal.   The presentation, the heft, the bands, everything is wonderful.  Did I mention the heft??

Sweet watch.  I immediately put it on the brown leather band and love it. 

Now I have to figure out which of my new toys I want to wear tomorrow!

 Looks SUPER! Thanks for sharing... Regarding the stiffness. I usually take some time when I am just sitting around and work them by hand. Bending them in all directions. Remember that anything you apply to it will change the leather and stitch color. I would hand work it and let it break in naturally. Wear it well, it's a Benarus you lucky dog!

 Thanks.  Its on my wrist and I'm planning to leave it there for a while.  Mother nature can break the band in naturally. 

I really, really, really love this watch.  Now I want a Barracuda BAD!

 Looks great! Love the contrasting stitch, but prefer the tan. Just me... Love strap swaps... Best way to completely the alter the appearance of a watch, as well as the way it wears. I noticed something I did not realize, the yellow appears to be anodized as well.

 The face is anodized.  A very nice touch.  The grain structure in the base metal is clearly visible and adds some texture to the face.   The bezel is quite tight, and moves with a less mechanical click than some watches.  My Omega has a similar click...

One subtlety is the TINY window for the date.  Its JUST right.   Easy to see, but doesn't detract from the aesthetic. 

This is truly a winning package.  The box smells like the inside of a new BMW (leather, leather, leather) and is really nicely detailed.  The color matched stitching is a nice touch.

The leather straps are enormous and beefy.  The link bracelet is also quite significant and adds more weight than I probably want.  Definitely a theme for this watch. 

I gotta save some pennies for another.  I like these guys!

 Good lord I'm an idiot. How many times can a watch band be changed in 3 days?
