I got my sizing rings today. For those curious, the package made it to Bavaria in just six days using the APO system, which was surprisingly fast.

With that settled, I’ve begun the process and, much like everyone else here, I’m anxious about making a mistake. I’ve already sent one email to MM and expect to send several more. Their customer service seems to match what’s been said around here.

I believe I’ve worked out my base ring size. I picked a dimension that looked correct; when I squeezed in the next size down, it was so snug that after just about 5 minutes, there was a red line encircling everything. The finger test appears reliable as long as I don’t force them too hard, which is what I’ve been advised against.

I’ll likely measure countless times hoping they only need to cut once. It’s making me a bit neurotic because I really don’t want to botch it up. I’ve absorbed plenty of advice here already, though more never hurts.

Thanks in advance.
