Quite huge, I think.. (7.25" - 18.5cm wrist)

I have the same sized wrist and I think it might be a bit on the small side.

Yeah, it's the same with the CrPO, every color has a different serial, but the watches of the same color all share the same serial number.

Just got my White aqua terra 8900 and the 43.5 mm 1/4 orange PO 8900, and they have the same serial as each other. Different than my 8605.

My VS clasp is not locking at all. Anyone with a fix for this?

killahbeez I got a gator-leather/rubber 21mm w/gen repped clasp coming soon. My TD couldn't source a rubber one. I'll post pics and details when it arrives. There's rubber ones on dhg8, but their clasps are awful.

ICYUNV cool! definitely post an update when you receive it. am definitely interested in an alternate strap. I've worn the bracelet for about a week and while it feels pretty good, its scratched up quite a bit.

Very interested in how you go with the blue leather as I've only been able to find the gen blue rubber at $300+ and already picked up a gen deployment.

Alternate strap choice is holding me back on this one:confused:

Anyone else getting a lot of variability in the pearl position? I've been trying to reject QC from the dealer, and he's arguing with me that they're all like that. I don't know if they 'all' just suck (from the pics you've posted, clearly they don't) or if he's just trying to play me....

Edited to include pic - pearly looks way to the right (up, but not enough to bother me).

Now they are trying to ask me getting this exact watch,with the 20 marker paint off... nonsense.

I guess I've just come to expect it, especially when you're new to a TD (I hadn't ordered anything from them in 3 years). It's annoying but I guess they just test everyone's threshold for what you'll tolerate. One would think the highest customer service would be that they themselves reject crappy watches from the TD to push them to be better. I guess that's wishful thinking.

how much is cost you for the strap? Did your TD tell you what factory made from? If is made by BP factory, it will not fit on the watch, because lug hole is in different postitio.

Asovo, I paid USD80 and it's from OMF. I'll find out in a few days if it fits. I'm not easily defeated, so if it doesn't, I'll make it fit. Pics coming soon

The newest member of my VSF collection has arrived! Ok, on to the strap. I initially had one hell of time getting the 2nd end of the spring bar into its slot. It was frustratingly close, I tore the rubber strap trying to force it into place. (I took one for the team). The spring bars included are thick. I swapped them out for slightly thinner ones and things just fell into place.
