Incoming: the big blue beast

Just received my d-blue today, oh man, it sure is a big watch. The weight, height and presence are so pronounce that it refused to be ignored by anyone.

I've been looking at the d-blue for long time, really like it but never got the chance to try one on as it's always out of stock. Fast forward to a week ago, found a grey dealer, he got one in stock. I paid, and today it's with me.

Like many of you guys, I tried it on as soon I got it in my hand, it almost feels like strapping a tower on my wrist! I'll shorten the bracelet next few days and see how the fit like.

Its incredible. The size will grow on you. It felt way too big to me at first and i had some real remorse. By the second week it felt like home. Enjoy!!

I have one. Once you get it fit properly you will be very surprised on how comfortable the fit is.
Enjoy.

Congrats. I too love this model. My problem is I have never seen one in the flesh to try it on so that is what is keeping me.

What size is your wrist? Let's see some shots when adjusted.

Congrats.
