Mine always felt uncomfortable, after some time I sold the watch.

Congrats! The more SS seem unattainable from the AD the more I look at OF.

Yes, for sure. I have had mine now for 9 days. The first 3-5 days were a bit of a break in period and now the oysterflex feels perfect.

Congratulations! I’m wearing mine today too. I wear mine quite tight around the wrist and did not experience a break in period after which the fit changed in any way.

I still can't believe people are just getting these without a wait, short wait or unsolicited. I checked with my AD yesterday and was told list for this keeps getting longer and haven't seen one in ages. Seems not believable.

Although I received mine last week, I had to wait almost 3 years for it!

I think I would go grey on this except I would want to try it on before I commit to buy. I worry the stiffness of the OF might make the watch wear like a giant bangle bracelet lol

OF is extremely comfortable IMO, but only if it's a perfect fit on you!

Thanks everyone, OF is starting to break in more and more. Also quick update, last week I was able to order the leather strap and installed it last night, love the look of leather on this watch.
