Ray these are just replica watches...Worthless and meaningless outside of these forums.
As for the comments about a gen losing its appeal over time..For me it is the reps that have lost all appeal and I wear my gens all of the time these days.
A genuine Rolex is a treasure and something that will hold its financial value over time so it is a no brainer really.
Steve some of these links should help you out on UPO straps.

Interesting to see that the slide rule doesn't line up on this one.
Having said that it is a gen though and heres one to compare with.

I keep singing Aarons praises on the boards as his IWC straps are the best.
He had a bad run a while back where a lot of his straps were delivered late to customers and this has put some people off unfortunately.
I can say that his delivery times are back to normal so don't hesitate in ordering one of these from him.
As usual Lani you're bringing the goods..Looks fantastic!!
Dan there are heaps of Aussies on the boards...Including myself that could be interested in this.
Obviously you would have to become a supporter first though
Not sure on that one but I do know the meaning of life if you're interested.
Seriously though please do some reading as all of this has been covered numerous times.
