    So, I went to the mailbox yesterday, to find:
    P1040778.JPG
    ::censored::
    And you know, what, that doesn't look good on your wrist (I was going to try and get a photo of it sitting on my wrist)

    So, this morning, off to my local FedEx dept, and now:
    P1040784.JPG
    These are a couple of the eBay pics also:

    So now, I'm :D!
    This is the black dial I was asking about straps for. It is currently on a brown strap off another watch, so I've put in an order for some new straps today.

    Your very lucky, I literally was going to put a bid on this one but I fell asleep early and forgot about it! ;). I don't know who would have won it, but the price certainly would have ended much higher. Nice catch!!!!!

    Score! :thumbsup: If that were a solid gold case you would have been up against me. ;) Love that dial.

    very fine, even on the brown strap. Such a happy event when it looks better than on Ebay...

    I've bought a couple of lighter brown/tan/honey straps do will see what works best. I agree brown looks good - black on black actually makes it harder to see and appreciate the black dial. I tried beads of rice on my other black dial Seamaster, I quote liked it, as it accentuated the black dial, but the Missus didn't like it, so I've removed it.

    Personally I like them on dark brown lizard straps, the two textures together really stand out. :)

    I think a contrasting stitching does the same thing ;)
