Original parts intact! Extra case laying around meant: let's customize this beast!! Black case changes this 43mm beast. It's quite thin though for a tool watch so it appears & wears very elegantly. Anyhow, this is a damn nice watch!!
The one on the right found its way onto my wrist today. I didn't put up a fight, I let it slide up onto my wrist sans struggle [emoji317] Cool original early 60s Navitimer strap, too. Makes it look like an AOPA advertisement poster model
Looks nice. One big thing I've noticed with vintage reps versus genuine vintage Rolex are the edges of the lugs... Reps have sharp as hell edges on the lugs. No vintage piece ever does unless it's totally NOS unworn.
Excellent choice! Coming from a maniac watch collector, the 997 has perfect proportions! It's amazing how it can be used daily, trunk space, rear seats in a pinch (or for kids)... It's the perfect daily driver. And yes, the saying is somewhat of a cliché but life is toooo short to drive a boring car [emoji4] It won't be your last (or only) 911! Cheers ol' pal The old Lava matched the gauges!
