Received mine today, overall quality built. Some quick and dirty shots. And a quick measurement its indeed 12 mm thick, which im kinda not used to.

Flyback works flawlessly

Can you take a mirror shot or something so we can see how it actually looks on your wrist?

I also have a 6.5” wrist. It’s big but doable with the right attire.

That’s what is putting me off if I’m honest thinking I’ll wait for v2 or v3 👍

The additional fixed link seems only to be present in the ceramic version for some reason. This green dial QC has the first link flexible.
Did some say that the ceramic first link was not flexible? I thought the comment was just that the rep had an extra “fixed”, i.e. non-removable, link. If the first link was not flexible, I think that would really make a difference, so correct me if my understanding is not correct.

Due to the less rounded profiles of the rep ceramic links, there won't be as much articulation as the SS bracelet. If you look at the PT pictures / QC, you can clearly see that there is some flexibility where the first link/plots attach to the case.

I have a small wrist , 6.5” , its very hefty on my wrist



Very nice. I am slightly smaller, but would you say it at all wears smaller than a 15500? To me the dial felt insanely large on the 15500, but the watch itself was wearable. It seems the 26240 has a smaller dial

Very easy to size. Simple pins to push out - not pin and screws.
I have a 15500 as well, and that is a screw and pin which was a load more hassle than this. This was a 5 min job to size.

My black ceramic just got to my door. Wife says it looks great, excited to see it in hand.

Since this isn’t the screws and pin combo, is there a specific side to push the pin out? Just from pictures it’s hard for me to tell. Thank you

That ceramic looks great. I like the real world photos out in the yard vs the ones in the bright shiny inside TD ones. Thanks for sharing and unfortunately making me spend money.
