Haha. Sure, I was replacing the bezel and thought it looked ok without. Then discovered that Marlon Brando wore one without a bezel in Apocalypse Now on a tropic strap and Rolex used to sell watches on tropic straps so thought I’d try one. It’s actually really comfortable. I haven’t weighed it yet but will do soon.

Lol, I remember the picture of Brando, thought that may have been the reason. Thanks for the reply brother.

Has been this today. I love how the burgundy in the bezel caught the light.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but sometimes I think some TRF members an awful lot of thought into taking a picture of his/her watch. My guess is this is a dude I could have a beer and watch a baseball, football, or baseball game with.

Was lucky with the light in that one. Made the dial pops.
