The watch is arrived in a nice big box 36 hours, rather great. The watch is rather thick and heavy and does not knock, I would say what needed .... Warning for settings as before pulling the crown must first be unscrewed. To shorten the bracelet it there is an arrow indicating the direction in which you have to push the pin. for non handyman I advise you to do so by a jeweler. About me I used a push pin with a plastic head with a shape resembling a domino (there are of all colors) then I tapped it with a slightly heavy tools and the pin is out. The watch is very beautiful and I'm happy. Warning alarm does not sound very strong, so as to avoid for people hard of hearing .... For the rest I recommend it .....
