Not yet. But I have no idea how long it will be in transit. I would really like it to get here this week, though. Patience is not one of my strengths...but I am working on it.

I sure hope it doesn't actually take 2 weeks to ship. Mine has not even shipped yet.

Wife just IM'd me a pic. It is here! Cross your fingers that it fits and that I don't have to send it back for adjustments!

Congrats! Hope it is perfect for you!
Dietmar just replied to my email as well. Said it would go out tomorrow.
Now, I just have to check the mail 5 times a day for the next ??? days...

[Davarian30]

Mine was shipped on the 4th and arrived on the 13th. So, hopefully, you will have it by the 23rd-ish?

Okay...preliminary observations...

Craftsmanship - great!
polished surfaces
smoothed edges
no spurs or burrs, that I could find
heavy, but not too much so
sturdy
not giving at all, in a good way
ring surface/shape is comfortable

When I got home, yesterday, we put it on me and I wore it for about 5 1/2 hours.
I turned a tad purple (darker red), initially, since I was starting to swell a bit. I went with the 47mm base ring, since I was told that they stainless ones seem to fit a little looser. My biggest concern was that I would be able to slip my boys out, if I went with the 50mm. Turns out, I should have gone with the 50mm, but the 47mm my be doable. And, no, even with the 50mm, there is no way that I am squeezing my testicles out of this thing.

The biggest problem is my girth. Taking my circumference, when fully erect, and dividing by 3.14, you get 1.95", for my diameter. The 47mm ring is 1.85". You can see the problem. As I start to swell, there isn't enough room for my fully erect cock, nevermind the scrotal skin, nerves and vessels. So, it hurts like hell and blood flow stops. Given this, it isn't likely that I will be wearing this to bed.

My wife has already e-mailed Dietmar to see what we can do about getting a 50mm ring. The 50mm still hurts, mildly, if I become rock hard, but still has the smallest amount of spare room for other things. I will still turn purple, but it is less painful and doesn't happen until I get closer to full erection.

Until then, though, we are going to ride it out and just use it during waken hours.

I am wearing it at work, right now. It is slightly uncomfortable, due to my pants pressing it into my body. I think I can get used to this, though, and will experiment with tube angles. When in the CB, I would have taken it off an hour after I arrived. It just hurt too much.

I will keep you updated.

Hopefully you continue to work things out and get it all set up properly. The only thing I can say is over time your body does and will adjust to it. I am now comfortably using 2 size smaller ring on the CB6000 than I started with on the CB3000. And, it is comfortable enough I don't even get woken up during the "morning wood". So, give yourself time to "get used to it". And, don't force it. If you push too hard and cause injury, it just slows things down as you have to take time to heal.

The good news.... Mine changed to "Delivered" today 7/14. So, just have to wait for the shipping...

[Davarian30]

We are going to ride it out. Getting a bigger ring is too pricey, right now. We have company coming for a week and then my vacation. Priorities!

Update: ITS HERE!!! And, what perfect timing. My wife had unlocked me from the CB6K for a Doctors appointment. On the way home from the Doctors appointment I checked the mail and it was there. So, perfect timing to just lock up in the new Steelheart.

Ordered June 17. Shipped July 14. Delivered July 21. So, basically 5 weeks order to delivery. And, he estimated 4-5 weeks at order.
I read the information published by Thumber (http://denyingthumper.com/chastity-devi ... t-vs-cb6k/) and several other sources with information on sizing. Spent several days measuring and checking and double checking measurements. Spent $20 and ordered the sizing rings from Mature Metal (http://www.maturemetal.com/accessories/sizing-rings).

I have to say that all of that pre-work has paid off. I took it out of the package. Washed it. And put it on. Wore it overnight without issues. Even though it is definitely snugger and tighter and fits better and thus more secure than the CB6K due to the custom fitting, I am actually finding it (after 1 night in it) much more comfortable. Fits like a glove might be the best description?

And, I know it is said over and over again. But, I have to confirm. The craftsmanship of this this is above and beyond expectations. Solid.. Smooth.. Polished.. Everything fits together with zero tolerances (no give at all which is good).
Thumper: Mine also has the base ring on the tube... no issues there at all.. your issues with the weld must have been a fluke.. or.. he has updated his processes...
