Upon receiving the watch, I was thoroughly impressed. It far exceeded my expectations. Within a week, coworkers and fellow watch enthusiasts were complimenting its aesthetics as well as the textured look. I only had one small gripe, I opted to pay an additional $30 for expedited shipping, but it still took five additional days to arrive. I understand that the delay was likely due to my request for a custom size, which is reasonable. Despite the wait, the watch is exceptional and will undoubtedly become a valuable everyday addition to my professional wardrobe.
