Let's C What's In The Box

I received a package from DAVIDSW yesterday. Needless to say I'm over the moon







My new daily driver. I've been going back and forth for a while and about a few weeks ago I decided to pull the trigger. I couldn't be happier







A few quick observations after only one day; The Glidelock lets you find the sweet spot. It can be adjusted in a matter of seconds for cold of hot temps as your wrist swells and starts to sweat as the day goes on.

The weight isn't noticeable over the 16610. The solid links make it feel very balanced.

I really like the anti glare on the cyclops. It does make a difference





Thanks for looking everyone

Very nice. I tried it out when it came, and I find that it sits very nice on my skinny wrists. The slightly slimmer links and great adjustability helps a lot. Also - although I prefer the older style - the bezel offers a grey shade that I like. I saw one on the wrist of one of my colleauges the other day, and the grey looking bezel was really nice. The bezel itself offers a completely new look that none of the older versions have... It is a good thing!

Congrats,

A
