I was faked out by the Fed Ex trucked earlier today, but the next one stopped at my house with this:

You know you have a problem when you are wearing two watches at home and opening a box with a third one in it...😜

Yes, I know. I figured these were like the 'welcoming party'.

Besides, their wrist time will be very limited for awhile!

Thanks to the Forum for all the help. I could never have bought one of these without the extraordinary enablers found here![emoji1]

A few more pics, as the light begins to fade:

I'm not sure I'm going to stick with the strap you see here...

I already swapped out the ugly, fake 'gator' 🤮that came with it for this well-worn, I think Hirsch gator, but I'm thinking a solid black might look better... I'm just not a bracelet guy.. 😉

Looks great, congrats!

Id like to see a pic if you switch it out to plain black.

Thanks, and yes, I will post if I find one.

If anyone has a suggestion on a nice, vintage-looking solid strap, let me know!

I like the Hadley Roma oil tan on these but unfortunately I can't show a pic as mines away for servicing.
