    Very nice! Sharp case and pleasing contrast with the metals. Congratulations!

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

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

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

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

    I already swapped out the ugly, fake 'gator' ::puke::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.. ;)

    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.
