Congrats to the new addition.
I be collecting mine very soon and having mixed feelings about it. I too have a small wrist <6.5” and wonder how it would sit.

Thanks for the kind words!

I had no idea there was a Mark I and II dial. I actually like the crown between Swiss Made of the Mark II. I plan to pass this watch to my son..I even had the AD make the warranty out in his name. I hope he appreciates it...

Damn what are the chances? Congrats on the new piece! I would have asked if it was a joke. Never been offered a watch out of the blue.

position. I left the diver extension because it’s badass and a Seadweller feels naked without the possibility of instantly expanding onto a dive suit...
That's the spirit!

I also do "deep dives" on a weekly basis. (Unfortunately it's to debug complex engineering problems )

When I read the title, I thought you were having the battery changed in a submariner from E-Bay
