I love my 79220R! It goes well with this Steinhart strap.

Thanks! It's an @erikasoriginals (instagram) parachute strap with first version hardware. Check'em out they're very comfortable.

I have heard a couple times now that the BB looks better as it gets roughed up a bit. Does anyone agree with this? I've tried to find pictures to support this, but haven't found any yet.

Frankly I like mine the way I got it. I've never liked the 'distressed look" on my possessions. There are those who like it, especially on Vintage watches. Personally I don't see it.

Those are my thoughts too. I can see it for some watches but not the BB.

I think that as the dark wears it will look cool. Especially if wear means the case edges/bevels starting to show a little SS thru the coating.

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Question for you actually, how did you find is the easiest way to change the straps on your Black Bay? Any tips? Tools that you might of used?

All i got in my inventory is one of those watchband replacement tools. I am having a difficult time getting the pins out. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Nick

Thanks man. It takes some practice, but a big part of it is the tool you use. This one is great for switching the straps on the BB. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001I...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
