Thanks Nick and Mark!  Enjoying the ORSA-ness of the Sea Viper!!! 

Mark - so on the bracelet...first, I'm very excited about ORSA's first in-house bracelet and it suites the Sea Viper very nicely.  Sorry, no diver's extension (which would have been very nice indeed).  The bracelet clasp has 3 micro-adjuster positions so I was able to get a very nice fit (only had to remove 1 link for my ~ 7.25" wrist).   Bracelet is a non-tapering 22mm and really has some great substance, thickness and heft to it!  The links are nicely machined (not at the Ball bracelet watch or higher end level, but I don't think anyone expects that).    My only thought here (and a very, very minor one indeed) would be slightly different machining of the very nice solid end link to match the lug-tip angle of the case lugs (on the bracelet side of the end-link)...the end-link has a very, very, tight and nicely done tolerance to the watch case itself.

This piece is really cool though, and I know you will enjoy your Orange dial Mark.  Hope it arrives TODAY!!!
