I had to send my SA back within a month for very poor time keeping, it came back perfect, exactly the way it should have left the factory! My only slight niggle at the moment is that the Chrono large second hand is very jumpy and not at all fluid like my others, I'll get it looked at when I find the time (no pun intended!).

Apart from that I love it, the white dial with batons looks fab on either the SS Pro II or a brown leather.

I love mine. I have the old school one with Arabic numerals. I would also recommend picking up the bracelet, for the "Full Ling," having that and the croc strap is almost like having two different watches. You will eventually get used to your friends calling it "Big Ben."

No chance, it even nails the crap out of Bentleys - had both and the SA is far more aggressive.

I have had my sa for just under a month now. I absolutely love it. The size is great wears light on my wrist too. I think my 6.75 wears heavier on my wrist, but thats just my opinion. I do however notice the jumping issue on the second hand for the chronograph. Mine does that once in a while when I am using it. I have just come to terms with it because I realized everything has flaws including my 6.75. Over all I say its a fantastic everyday watch.

I bought a black face one... I personally dont think you need to have large wrist to wear it. Everyone at work is so jealous when I wear it as it looks very classy. Even a Rolex fan at work is jealous of it as it makes his Rolex look tiny.

ps: How does one post a picture here? Last time I tried to upload it, it says the file is too big?

Thanks.

I just got one with white dial and batons on a Pro II... that thing is a beast, I'm not sure I can pull it off. I have a small wrist at 6.5" and I'm used to wearing big watches, but the SA is in another class. I had to remove all the links that can be removed (including the last one on the clasp side that takes two screwdrivers to unscrew) and have the fine adjustment on the second hole from the largest. So, it could actually fit a wrist slightly smaller than mine, but I can't see the point. I can really feel the weight of the watch, nothing I've owned has come close except a UTS on dive bracelet.

Don't get me wrong, I love the watch, I think the white face is beautiful, especially with the polished batons, but I'm not sure I can wear a watch this size. I'll give it a go, but I might have to go back to a Skyland...
