The diver link is the first thing I take off. Much cleaner and comfortable. Unless you need the length, it’s clumsy. Just remove like a regular link.

Can fully agree with it. I removed it also on my Deepsea and will remove it on the 126600.
It wears and fits a lot better.

Is there also a quick size setting on the clasp like on the 116600?

Expect your QCs from new stock this week. Let’s see if they updated at least the DW....

Same Glidelock system as in the Sub/SD4K clasp [emoji106] (not DSSD)

DSSD clasp not possible because SD43 bracelet and clasp are wider.

just received the watch doesn't wear that large
the build quality is F ing outstanding by far the best stock rollie, the crystal and the cyclops are far better than stock noob,and regarading the datewheel i think only number 3 5 6 8 that's a little bit too thick but wont be noticeable at all
everything screams gen

and also does anyone have the photos of this rep showing the matte dial ? it's night in here and could not find the sunlight but using the flashlight from my phone it doesn't look that matte
Who did you order from?

I honestly didn't realize the gen dial was THAT textured. It looks awesome. From the rep pics, the dial is matte but there is a lot less texture.

You only notice it in really bright sunlight - it never looks that textured day to day. I would imagine its harder to reproduce a matte dial than a gloss one. The reps look very good if perhaps slightly smooth (and therefore a little too black- if that makes sense?)

Anyone heard about customs pulling DHL consignments .Ive heard on some other groups that a lot of watches sent via DHL are being seized coming to UK .This now has me worried as I'm pretty sure that's who the buyer was using who order my watch as well as others. I won't loose money as don't pay till it is in uk but likely it will be a re order job :-(

I'm not sure about the UK but my TD suggested EMS for the US as it is "safer" then DHL. Even if it is slower then DHL safer is better.

I'm finding EMS is frequently shipping as epacket/airmail. Is it safer? Or is it more profitable? I understand DHL has been a problem, but EMS should mean EMS express not airmail/epacket. Too many times i've seen airmail service/wait/tracking# lately for what used to be EMS express. Charging $30 for $3 shipping isn't ok. My suggestion is we start requesting airmail instead of EMS, because thats how they ship it anyway. At $30, i'd be cool to just spend another $10 to actually get EMS Express. We lack a reliable & fast shipping option.

Oh, and M5... I'm jealous. What a beaut!
