Thank you for your exceedingly kind comments. You shouldn't be insulting a watch which you have been dying to buy. I put it there for you specifically. How could you?

Sbybbuser Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 LOL. I am thinking of a teju lizard or a matt black alligator. It's subtle but looks luxurious. Well they are pricey but hey that watch deserve the best strap money can buy. Another option if you want rugged look then a swiss ammo or german ammo from dangerous9 will look mighty nice.

Thank you very kindly, and I am glad to join the Rolex area too, despite being a complete noob here. I am be happy if you and others could kindly guide me, I really am new to Rollies and could do with a lot of help. Other than that, its great fun to engage you and others in the "word association" thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Very nice indeed. The DSSD is much too large for me, let alone on that massive strap! Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacsah1 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Could you please post pictures of how the crown is sitting now? Did the case need to be redrilled to accommodate gen stem height? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from Mars using tapatalk The crown was not repositioned as far as I know. Maybe you make a picture from the right side straight on the crown logo?
