Thanks bud! I needed some variety, something to hold me over until bonus time when I can afford a new watch. :)

Not for me, but put a faded Sub bezel insert and I think you have a winner.

With that said, I needed a change in pace and this ought to hold me for a while.

I like it for a change but I agree that they look best on the OEM bracelet they come with

I'm the only one that can speak the truth when it comes to the looks of it.
You can give an opinion.

I don't mind the look, though I'd prefer it on a bracelet.
I thought I read somewhere recently that dive watches weren't meant to go together with leather straps. That's of no consequence though, because as you said, only you can speak the truth in this matter. If you like it, go for it. |

Steel only for me. I don't like a dive watch on a strap that can't get wet.

Why can't you get a leather strap wet Joe? Cows can swim.

Whatever winds your watch!
I think part of what makes Rolex so successful is the way their watches look with the bracelets designed for them. Not that the occasional departure doesn't add to the look, but the bracelets Rolex designs really compliment their watches. |
