Not the usual sort of Rolex or Omega you see in this thread, but nevertheless a watch with a story. This is the presentation watch that was given to my father-in-law who was involved in the cleanup of Chernobyl in the days immediately after the disaster.

German strap maker EULIT makes a two piece perlon. EBay seller Holben's fine watch bands has a few 20mm's for about $25.
Now that some time has passed, how has the two piece perlon held up? Any regrets / wishes that you should have gone with the more common one piece style?

I have a later Cal 861 De Ville Prestige from the mid 1990s but I think these earlier ones are a bit special.

All sorts of things are wrong on this Ebay punt purchased on blurry pics many months ago, but with a new crystal and the perfect strap it might actually survive unscathed.

Call me strange, well a lot probably do but I like to see lume burn on a dial. It is lume burn ?

It sure is, and it did me in! I thought "ha ha, blurry pics but radium burn - this dial MUST be original". Well it's an old redial --pretty, thankfully --and a valuable lesson learned.

Sporting some new "Horween" from @jankoxxx
The original Rolex bracelet was in my opinion one of the most comfortable around but this new combination takes comfort to a whole new level. 馃榿
