Thanks...here are a couple of fairly recent pics...

With OEM black steelies/ss center caps...the config when I purchased it new in 2007 from a Ford fleet dealership...

With OEM full wheel covers...the current config...

LATE ENTRY for @CTS-V...pic from today's semi-blizzard in Cincinnati, OH...my '07 P71 did a good job in the snow due to a Ford Racing Trac-Lok LSD...please ignore the fact that I'm at the mall...BUT...I was at the mall to pick up a Hamilton strap buckle at a Hamilton AD for my late father-in-law's Hamilton auto (right wrist)...Speedy Gonzales is on the left wrist...

You look like you have just robbed the store in the bottom pick, bag on roof beanie on fists up ready to wrestle with the mall cops....

@cristos71 - I've only bought from Kelaran, Panatime, and Watch Prince in the last few years so it had to come from one of them.

You may get a very similar one from here: https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/lizard - especially the "Handmade" selection looks close; here is one of mine (burgundy), quite close to that color/shine/padding if you ask me:

Yes, that's the one - same inside writing. They have different styles, yours is probably from their Omega style collection (https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/premier-lizard-genuine-padded-omega-style).
Here is a 19mm example on my now-sold '69 C-case Connie.

LOL...well...OK...but what I did do at the store was quite fun and legal [as well as somewhat annoying to the manager since it was VD and the store was somewhat busy]. That bag [it's a certified Delta Air Lines pilot man bag] on the roof of my P71 holds my wallet as well as some watch tools [Omega branded spring bar tool and Omega branded loupe from my Speedy Gonzales presentation box set] that I utilized to change the Hamilton buckle that I was picking up. I wanted to make sure the new Hamilton buckle fit on the new Hamilton strap of my late father-in-law's Hamilton auto...so I did the install right there at the store. It was fun...I was going to get pics but the manager seemed like he wanted me gone...since I was taking up counter space with all my stuff.

I really got the hots for this one...I love everything about it. I wonder if it's worth sacrificing a vintage piece for one? 👎

Little smoked surf n turf and a watch

Now that's just lovely... Probably the one Rolex that could get me to convert to the dark side. Luckily, it is way too expensive for that ever being an option 😁

I'm fairly confident that the MD-88's nickname of "Mad Dog" is derived from MD 20 20...no joke..."eighty-eight"..."twenty twenty". Also, I've heard the MD-11 aircraft called the "Mighty Dog" as well as the B-717 (MD-95) aircraft called the "Mini Dog". Weird thing is...I've never heard an MD-80 aircraft called a "Mad Dog"...only "Super 80".
