After spending the day being extra careful not to dent the Daytona (I just noticed that 1 of the pins in my gen springbars broke & the springbar popped out of 1 of the lugs -- sometimes new (aftermarket) parts are actually better than the damned vintage part), I am on my way out the door with the beater in search of a burger.

My mother is a hard lady to please -- but even she was impressed. "That's the best strap you ever bought".

Deep inside my Louis Vuitton Cabas Clear Ambre Monogramme Mezzo Tote. :wub:

SATURDAY

That JV strap is hard to top, but I think I did it below. Presenting my new Silix Daytona with silver registers!!

Gorgeous pointy crown guards!

I know it's not as good as Freddy's, Ubi's or By-Tor's, but by golly, for 37 Euro, this PLAYS.

Pretty boring but these 2 are about all I wear anymore. Just waiting for my new insert for the one on the NATO so I can vintage it. These 2 perform so well I just don't want to wear anything else. I do smell a SMP in my future though when I sell my UPO.

Victoria...that Daytona shot looks PERFECT...fit for print!!! The Explorer I on Nato...that's my next watch! :yeah: I've got a different idea about strap choice (my Bond Zulu will go on my Explorer II that's in the mail)...for me, the Explorer I is the only Rolex that looks great with leather, truly a CLASSY piece!!!

A year ago, I wouldn't have understood this.

Today, I smile and nod. ;)

I have two vintage rollies that are fully modded that have supplanted everything else in my collection.

Freddy, I've got to ask you about that helium valve mod some time.

And left the post office wearing this!!!

While I wait for my noobmariner LV from TTK, I decided to buy an inferior (wokmariner) rep for $50 from one of the other boards...I like it, it's my first Rolex, and definitely not my last!

Vic great combo but for that amount of money you should have gotten a normal length strap and not open an extra hole on a long one. :D

Nevertheless a beauty and perfect combo with the 113 ;)

I knew you'd say something of the sort. -_-

Almost all my OEMs are 115/95, such as my OEM rubber diver. It took me AGES to find a JV strap of that size -- due to the fact that even the OEM buckles give me a powerful nickel allergy chafing under my wrist. To the side, not so much.

If I'm spending that kind of money, I might as well get one I'll actually use in comfort.

Nevertheless a beauty and perfect combo with the 113 ;)

Thanks.
