    So what else to do but swap a few of the old girls from straps to their bracelets:

    Some may say it is sacrilegious but the box almost looks bland now without the colour the straps provided.

    You're going to have to turf the two imposters into their own case though, nice as they are they're looking like a ginger kid in a class photo among that company :D

    Gives you both a reason to buy 2 more Moonwatches and a whole case of Seamasters to fill.

    Awesome.

    There's something about 60's stainless bracelets on Speedmasters. Be it a 7912, 1039, BoR or JB Champion, it's just gives them an edge the modern bracelets just can't match.

    Beautiful box, either way.

    I look at it this way: You should buy a few more gold Speedies to replace the pre-moons in the bottom row you put up for sale:whistling:; then it will look 'all better'! :D
