Incoming: the new 26480ti — it’s finally here.....

First off, It’s an incredible piece. Amazing contrast with the matte blue dial and grey subdials. These aren’t the best pics — taken at night and all— but couldn’t wait to post (stickers still on it). Will take more in the daylight.
It May be pushing it for my wrist ...... lugs are hugging the edges.

The boutique said they’re only getting 3 this year, which surprised me.

Love it! I’m on a few waiting lists and told I’m getting one by October (they also said not delivering any until September so all of this confuses me greatly) May I ask which boutique did you get from?
Wear it well

6.5 wrist you may have said in earlier posts? I’ve always discounted these as being too large. Looks decent in those pics. Large but doable?

Looking nice! Congrats! OP kind of off topic but did you do some type of medical training at UCLA? Just guessing based off of your username.

Yup-- 6.5" wrists and my wrists aren't flat. They're more rounded and my forearms taper up quickly. I think I'm pushing it a bit to be honest-- it just depends which angle you're looking at it.
Thanks for the feedback guys.......and if anyone thinks it looks too big, I promise I won't get offended if you say so. I'm looking for honest feedback on this piece given the size and my smaller wrists.

I'm a physician, yes, and UCLA is my alma mater.

Big congrats! I had no idea the productions numbers were that low. I placed a deposit and hope to get it soon.

Looks great on your wrist.

Having big forearm helps. Doesn’t look too big imo.

It looks great and not too big. I wouldn’t go bigger but this looks just right.

I have 6.6” wrist and got the ROO Ghost recently and would consider that my max size as well

Looks great! Does it wear as tall as a diver? Or is it thinner? Congrats!

Beautiful, great wrist presence and it looks perfect on your wrist with your pictures. Maybe a few more wrist shots from a distance, have someone snap the pics for you.

Congrats, these should snap some life back into the SS 42s. Mirror shot looks just right on you.

Awesome-- congrats, man. We should start a 26480ti thread.

I'm amazed at the finishing on this watch, especially for a titanium case.

It definitely wears thinner than the diver. It wears really well.

Navy
And it also comes with a white strap that I think will look really good, but will likely make it wear larger
