My first AP

I have wanted this watch for a long time! I truly am happy with the way it looks, feels on the wrist! Super excited.

I do have one issue. The clasped a against my wrist bone. Any suggestions or recommendations on how to fix this issue?
I thought about breaking my wrist to ease the pain but figured someone probably knows why.

Congratulations. Liking the look of the safari (this and/or the new model) more and more as it would compliment my black themes. Very nice.

A lot of the guys recommend swapping the straps over to help with comfort.

I will try that! Didn't think about that but it will take some time to get used to.

Thank you all for the kind words! This watch, for me, is amazing. I am glad to be apart of the AP family! Looks like my watch family keeps growing.

UPDATE : just swapped the straps over. It's like night and day, no discomfort at all! Thanks for the recommendations! I thought that it would be awkward or mess with my head, it didn't affect me at all!

LOVE THIS WATCH!
