·Received it! It’s a wonderful-looking piece! I’m so glad I made the switch; this one has so much more personality to my eyes. Very impressed with the good polish. They manage to give a really shiny touch to the watch while keeping all angles sharp to the touch.
Quick question: is there any “best practice” before sizing the watch in terms of which hole to select on the clasp? Is it best to size it with the clasp pin in the middle hole, or place it on the tightest hole and then loosen it during summer when the wrist tends to swell?

·Nice find - congrats. My ignorance of additional tariff costs have limited my seeking stateside. What was your recent experience with this purchase from Japan?

·Very Nice! For sizing, usually want to start with the hole closest to the clasp hinge (where the bracelet is tucked under the clasp) then move it back towards the center when the wrist swells.
Usually it should fit with space for the little finger of space when first putting it on. Will feel a little loose but that will change as you wear it. In a pinch, a thin paper clip will work to release the spring bar in the clasp for adjustment. Also, when changing holes, pop one side and seat it in the next hole, then do the opposite side even if you're needing two hole difference.

·Hello everyone, I got the extra material from the seller, I attach it here. Serial number was a typo and in line with what expected.

·Thank you! Yes, I believe someone mentioned it before.
It’s a bit of a shame they didn’t write the serial number on the warranty card back then, but they clearly weren’t that picky about these things, judging by how all those cards from 80s and 90s are filled out.

I think you got a nice watch. The warranty card says it was sold by Yodobashi Camera’s Shinjuku East Exit “Good Gear” branch in Tokyo.
