A combo you don't see often.....

At least I've never seen it


The strap is off my Sinn 142. It's a Di-Modell Chronisimo (with Sinn markings). Great strap (really two straps sewn together). It's like a leather bracelet and waterproof to 100m.

And another BM dial pic just for the heck of it

Cheers,
Bruce

Seeing you're in such a good mood, Ed, would this be a good time to pop in a slice of orange?

Honestly, JJ, Yes. I love oranges, and especially fresh orange juice. There's a place in Florida up the road from us called Blood's. They have the freshest orange juice I have ever tasted. It is fresh squeezed and bottled right on the premises. Not pasteurized or homogonized and full of pulp.

Thank you for your honest reply, Ed. Now the other BIG question that pops into my mind is how the hell do you drink it? With your eyes shut?

Not quite, Ed! If you can bear to look at all that ORANGE juice gurgling down your throat up close and personal, how come you don't like the orange PO?

Oh, JJ. If you don't get it, I don't know how to better explain why I don't like that orange POS.

JJ, if I recall correctly, Ed (and I, for that matter) agreed the PO in black/black was a nice looking watch. However, when you put orange on it... it goes horribly wrong.

Bruce as you know I've never been a strap guy but I gotta say you do put together some nice ones. I esspecially like the Rolex EXP I on that strap you posted. I still find myself looking at that pic.
