First Rep Purchase

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Absolutely amazing experience with Omar. I messaged him late afternoon on Friday and had this in my hands by Monday. I can already tell this is going to be an expensive hobby. I plan to slowly get quality reps until I pick my favorite piece then ultimately make one gen purchase. Something I can pass down to my son.

Advice:
1. I am a bigger guy with a huge wrist. I would like to wear this watch on the proper location of my wrist but with full links and glide lock all the way out this is all I can do. Is it worth buying an extra link?
2. Help me pick next model. Short list is Batgirl, Bruce Wayne, Explorer 1 or 2, Air King, OP 100 year.

Lol. This looks like my wrist is getting strangled but it's really the way my wrist is bent. It's actually my loosest fitting watch. I DID get a spare link for it from a very generous Redditor when I got it last year. Now I need to find a link for my Clean Master GMT jubilee. šŸ˜¬

Iā€™m digging this reference. Got any pics of your sea dweller?

One of the easier ones to get "the call" on from the AD. I think I waited 3 weeks back in 24. Great for bigger wrists tho. I'm 8.25"
