Great choices! I've got the 111 and 372 myself. I would've preferred one of the factories make the 422 (or 423), but at least we have a 1950 3-day in the 372 for now.

I'll say that the waiting is the worst part of the whole process..oh the agony.

That will happen just in the frist 30-40 watches, after that you will forget even you have an order in the way.
At this moment I don't know even what watches I have ordered and one time I ordered the same watch from two dealers.
LOL

wow congrats!
it looks like the 372 is to huge for me in this pics, can't go past a luminor 44mm case.

Thanks guys. The 372 is indeed much larger on my wrist compared to the 111. But I'm really loving both pieces!

I would like to give an update for both watches. The 372 has been flawless and keep good time. The 111, however, developed some minor issues.

First, the movement stopped. I couldn't quite figure it out at first. When the movement stopped, I gave it a couple of taps and then it started to work only to stop again in a couple of mins. I then realized that I heard something when i shake the watch (something is loose). When I look at the movement (a benefit of display caseback), I noticed that one of the screw in the bridge has fallen off and caused the movement to stop! I open up the caseback, put the screw back and tighten everything. After that, everything is back to normal.

The second issue was the screw underneath the crown has come loose as well. At first I notice that it was getting harder to close the CG, only to realize that the loose screw has pushed the crown further outside. Found a simple wrench to tighten it back until it's almost flush to the case. After that, closing the CG was as it used to be.

So, I highly suggest for you to completely tighten everything when you just got the watch!!
