    Great question! I'm up for all kinds of suggestions! I was thinking maybe a black sharkskin strap. Trying to figure out how to source one in US. I have a BoR bracelet but I think this one will look classier on leather. I also thought maybe to go with grey ostrich. Not sure. Need guidance!

    Great straps and pics.
    What are the colors of the two brown straps from the website?
    Trying to order the ‘brown’ on the bottom left of the two?

    I'm a big fan of going all-in on the monochrome look when you've got a watch like yours. So, I think grey ostrich would look fuggin hawt

    Just got this in over the weekend. Straight from the back of the original owner's drawer in Connecticut, a chapter ring gilt 1016 with a previously unworn expandable rivet with 58 end links and original box from Philippe Beguin of Geneva.

    I’ve been looking for one of these for ages, but I just wasn’t fishing where the fish are! Swiss Made Helmut Sinn Era 103 B SA HD with Tritium Dial (sellers pics as it’s on the way).

    Many thanks to @ar.parask13 for his assistance in its purchase!

    I actually pulled the trigger on this over the weekend. The wait was killer. The watch is even more killer:

    Bought my father an 2296.8000 Seamaster.

    He loved it.

    Actually got this some time ago but it's been away for a new crystal.
    A Beautiful Geneve 2903 with cross hair in amazing condition. The dial is original and near flawless and the bevels on the lugs and bezel could carve the Sunday roast.

    Excuse the poor pics.

    Bought it the other day, but arrived today. Just cheap enough to not get "that look" from the missus:)
