How was your trip to Tatt Man?

Nevertheless, welcome to the forum, Dickson.

Thanks for the warm welcome mate. Are you coming back Penang frequently? Hope to gather some penangite and have some sort of GTG. Any idea is there any active Penang members here? :Cheers:

basically, the wrist is too small for it. there's a gap between the wrist and the watch where the lugs meet the bracelet. sadly, the AP bracelet is quite stiff at this point where it doesn't bend enough. i am guessing the only around this is to go on a special diet to fatten the wrists a bit first.

also, the watch i was offered is the dark blue dial instead of the light blue with orange which i prefer so it didn't quite make me smile.

Light blue with orange? Which model are you looking for? I do have a small wrist too and that is one of the reason I love Royal Oak (more classic anyway). You can as well get some leather without the hornback or even a rubber strap for your watch, I think it should helps.
