That is one luscious hunk of ever rose, rubber, and ceramic.

Great pics, too.

And...oh my, what a collection.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get it sized? Did you purchase from an AD and they take your size and order the right strap? Or, did you just get lucky and the size was right out of the box? Thanks,

The strap looks very flexible. Beautiful watch. Congratulations.

Isn't that band a bit hot, though...?

No not at all because it is touching the wrist only in a small area because of the flaps on the inside of the bracelet:

Thank you!

I got it from an AD and he measured my wrist size and mounted the right strap for me. If you buy not by an AD, you have to be lucky with the bracelet size.
