Haven't talked to Chad just yet. Confirming if I'm getting more than one, you know to save shipping... ;-)

She has to wait until her B-day anyway to wear it, so we are good. I will be doing the 3 day wearing period to make sure everything checks out as it should.

B. Doggy · 22 July 2011, 08:23 AM

Cool, man!!!

with your newly acquired "ladies strap" from your local boutique?

red1108nyc · 22 July 2011, 08:44 AM

Could it be... 339???????

Now I want to know please!!!

Enjoy the anxiety and in this case, its a good one!

Be well,

Fred

No guys, not for me, but for the love of my life. Believe it or not she has wanted this watch for a couple years now. I think I have successfully converted her to a WIS's wife and she likes them and sees their value.

Here is one of the sellers pics. And the pillow is not the pillow that is coming with my watch.

I'll wear it on this standard size strap for a few days to make sure there are no issues with the watch (winds well, keeps good time, etc).

I'm ordering a strap or two tomorrow from BH for the wife and I can give to her on her Bday.

Looks nice Mik, even though thats not the best angle.

Thats kind of what I figured. But it does look pretty great based on what I can see from here. Congrats.

Thanks and no worries. It is hard to remember all these numbers, like a 49 takes a 22mm lug and 20mm deployant and I need a 98/68!

fc3s2k · 23 July 2011, 12:09 AM

Congratulation Mik or should I say To the mrs.

mfer · 23 July 2011, 04:35 AM

Well, I just talked to Chad @ BH and ....

FINALLY!!!!! Someone who knows their product and handles themselves professionally. I've heard many good stories about this guy and they are all true.

Only bad part is I'm going to have a beautiful OEM strap before the watch!
