ok, come hell or high water I'm getting one of these :Prost:

one thing I'm hoping you can answer Holly35, is how much adjustment is there in the bracelet & how is it done?
the links are big, or is there some other clever method hidden away there?

thanks again for your help!

I found a used Delta on eBay a few months back and wear it regularly. It had clearly been worn a decent amount and has some barely visible hairline scratches on the edge above the face where the case rounds down. That's where you're most likely to bump it on things, if you're going to. It's not noticeable unless you're looking for it and the light catches it just right. Makes it easier to wear - it's not perfect, so no need to worry so much... It's a special and wonderful watch, I really love it. Gets comments, as well.

No special hidden micro adjustment on these,just full and half links.Even so i couldnt find a happy mediun,either too tight or too loose.Its heavy and always slid down my wrist to become uncomfortable to wear. :sad:

The case curves somewhat. At its widest it's around 36mm.

Ah yes,thats before you live with these for a while.Out of the box wow factor is different from long term operation fit comfort and overall appeal.
Think of my change of heart on Ventura as a long term road test and comparison betewwn them. ;-)
I am sure you will love the Ventura, :-P bare in mind, all earlier V-tecs are small by todays standards,and could easily pass for unisex wear. The later ones have increased in size. :no:
If i had to chose a Ventura ,my favorite is the Sparc fx based BMW version.May i suggest you talk to Cesar on this form,he purchased all my Venturas. :-)
Buy the way he has the SEIKO also ....among others................................................................................................................................... :mrgreen:
