I made this picture from my rather amazing Rising Sun this morning. Just had to throw it out there. It is so amazing!

I tried grey and maroon suede straps as well, but funny enough black (this one from "Straps by Fleur") is maybe the best fit yet!

Show me your Rising Suns or other Tokyo Olympic versions as well!

 

@Meme-Dweller, show off your battle scar.

I love these. Maybe one day I’ll be able to buy one. For now it goes onto the ever increasing ‘needs’ list. Wear In good health

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to get one of the Rising Suns in Europe? I know that it is an edition made for the Japanese market, but still has anyone managed to get one of these through the official network (OBs and ADs)? Thank you.

 

Can’t speak to official network, but it looks like these can be bought on Rakuten for about $6,000 usd if you wait for one of their 10% off sales, which happen roughly every 2 weeks. Been thinking about getting one myself, love the way they look. Not crazy about the caseback, but you don’t have to look at that much if you don’t want to

 

They need to hurry the hell up with the next sale, I got an itchy trigger finger for a certain Seamaster

 

I guess you speak of Rakuten in Japan, correct?

 

Correct. I have used the website FromJapan.com to purchase a few things from rakuten and yahoo japan and have had zero issues. The shipments are usually much faster than I expect

 

Amazing, I was just looking at one the other day. Stunning watch.

 

I'm starting to like vintage style rally straps more and more now.

 

One of the best LEs in this collection. Congrats

 

Here is mine on custom made strap.

 

Great strap choice!

 

Both the watches look stunning with those straps

 

Thanks for the comments and the additional pictures. I used to have it on a grey or maroon strap. Pics enclosed. As you can see I love suede straps.

 

Both the grey and maroon suede looks great with the Rising Sun - also loving the blue suede on the 57 reissue!

 

Both straps suits it perfectly well!
One question if I may @S. JWood : what is the retail price for this Watch in yen vat included? I am looking for one but don't want to pay loads of money above RPP. Thank you!

 

You can get an idea if you check rakuten or yahoo japan. Prices vary and also depend on condition.

 

Finally got my strap in
