    Didn't realize the priesthood paid that well. Or is that a cool retro Neru look?

    I vote for the SS band. Not even close.
    Either way, wear it in good health for many years to come. :thumbsup:

    That is Father John from WUS and TRF. Respected member of the watch community.:)

    The photo doesn't do the strap justice. It's a deep navy, appearing black in some light, blue in others. Depending on the light it brings out the blue of the dial differently. Very comfortable. I like both, will use both. Since I've a few watches on similar SS bracelets, I'll start with the strap. Just a different presentation. All good.

    So Father John really is a Member of the clergy. I have seen him post on other forums and always appreciated his opinions. Having attended Catholic grammar school, high school and a Jesuit university for undergrad I never saw a member of the clergy wearing an Omega or Rolex. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't.

    Love it with the strap over the bracelet, Lew Archer.

    I was torn between the blue and black face, but I think they both have a tendency to change shade somewhat depending on lighting conditions; Mine sways from black to grey with a few people thinking its a very dark blue.....

    I'd also be interested to see yours on a strap, I've toyed with the idea of getting a gator strap but haven't done so far.

    Mine says hi....
