Finally got a call from my AD!

After waiting for almost a year, I finally got a call from my AD for the 50th Anniversary Sea-Dweller!

Coming from a GMT Master II it is a bigger watch. The bezel is amazing (love the smooth clicks). But it may take some time to get use to the squeaky bracelet (hopefully it will go away over time).

Congrats on the beast, it’s a great watch! Enjoy that squeakyness of the bracelet, you’ll miss it when it’s gone.

Congrats, great watch!

Try giving it a wash with some warm, soapy water. That will take care of the squeaky bracelet.

Huge congratulations on this beautiful watch. Mine is one month older than yours and I'm still mesmerized by the look and shine of the bezel. I don't know what is it exactly, I read on another thread here on this forum that the bezel is anthracite not black, maybe this is why this the bezel and sapphire crystal shimmer almost as if they were made out of the same material.
PS: Mine still squeaking, glad to know it's a because it's still new not something else.
