·I've had my Roadster bracelet pop open if it's been "too tight" and I flex my wrist.
That’s my experience as well in the younger years. Lately I have more arm “cushion”, I’ve put in much effort to train the arm not to fight a watch.
I’ll blame @texasmade if it flies off the wrist.

·Gorgeous watch, it’s nice to live vicariously and enjoy your enjoyment 😀
Be careful with the macro shots tho, you might just find a bit of lint or a speck of dust 😉

I brought a loupe with me to the boutique and scanned every mm of the dial, during pick up. My SA said "You're in a watch forum aren't you?"
"Sadly, yes"
Too many "dust in my brand new Omega" posts here.

·Just like the climax buildup in Beethoven, this is a how to create a climax for a grail.

·Great photography! Not easy to get such nice wrist shots.
Can't decide if that watch was made for you or you were made for that watch. It looks organic on your wrist.
Congrats. (I feel sorry for the rest of your watch box.)

·AP has popped on my radar recently (meaning, I’ve just recently come to find them strongly attractive). This is good fuel - congrats on the pickup!
Curious to read more about the clasp issues. I love it on steel.

·In true OF fashion, hopping a flight to pick up my grail. If all goes well, I should have a shiny wrist thing in 4 hours.
It’s a category creator and one I’m obsessed with for nearly a decade. My spare kidney is on EBay, it’s unpolished and mostly original.

Thank you. The current residents of the box has yet to make a complaint. 39mm is nearly universal good fit and unisex. I’ve been particularly outdoorsy since Covid and toasted my arms to a golden brown. Any shiny steel strapped to my wrist will stand out nicely, ha. Glad you enjoy the photos.

No issue with clasp. Just my observation of the “light” locking mechanism of Jumbo. It feels more dress than sports. The bracelet is way too iconic for me to swap out, after much consideration. That bracelet is very very distracting during the work day 😀 I haven’t gotten anything done since picked up.

·Late to the party here - nice thread, great watch, congrats! How did you convince them to sell you a Jumbo, 50th anniversary to boot?

·Ha! Now this is how you flex a new watch purchase. Well, for the watch nerds anyway.

Short story: I was on the list for 15202 before Covid, plus several factors played out to my favor, over 3 years period (and seemingly a million texts).

·Wow!!! I don't recall a thread going south so quickly. I liked the lead up, no different from someone showing the unboxing thing. Enjoy your watch, that's a beautiful dial!!!!
