Hi Eric, Im wondering if you still have the original Alessi AL5017 stainless steel band. I got one thru ebay, but the band was to small, and I need to get an extra one for extensions.
Thanks

My dad had some dermatological issue with watch case-backs for most of his life, although I think he wore metal bands on his last couple of watches. He did on the last one I bought him.

However, through all the years I was growing up, he always took off whatever band came with the watch to replace it with a nylon strap, usually brown.

He must not have been the only one to do so, but I always thought it was weird, when really it was way cool.

Perspective is everything.

Old thread, but great combo Eric.

Especially the Green, Red, and Black one.
