Congrats Justin, I'm not really a Rolex guy as you know, but that looks good on you.

Nice going Justin. I know you've been after one for a while now. Looks good, definitely has some size-thickness to it from the pics. I was going to say that you might want to return it with the second hand getting bent up during shipping, but there has been enough comments on it already! :lol:

Hope you enjoy it.
(p.s. - surprised you didn't order from Oster... from Mpls., :poke: )
I'll go now :) .

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It's been on my wrist this whole weekend and it wears great. The added weight does make it feel a lot different than the Subs I was looking at. The watch is just over 19 months old and before it was shipped, it was sent to Govberg's certified watchmaker to have it restored to new condition, so any surface scratches were polished and all gaskets were also replaced.

The lighting second hand is either love or hate, but I think it adds a little character to it. If anyone is thinking about this watch and you haven't tried it on yet, you may be surprised at just how good it wears.

@RJRJRJ - I already sold the 112 to a member on paneristi

@Kodiak - I'll have to send pics to the lady at Oster and tell her that my dream finally came true (it's a funny story about an experience I had at their location at the Mall of America for those wondering)
