I think that looks very dressy.
The next time I am in the UK I will be getting one!
(What size width did you order?)

Thanks! I got the 20mm width. I'm based in Australia and just ordered it off the website.

What an elegant looking combination you've put together, Gerry.

Really, really sharp looking!

Don't know if i'd actually do it to my Bluesy, tho if I bought the band and knew it was around, I might give it a try at some point. Where did you find the band?

Enjoy!
Oh yeah I almost forgot this: Bluesy,

You know what that 16613 needs?
...Daytona Endlinks from the leather version, to cover the gap between the strap and the case. I agree with our Omega´s friend that likes curved end straps.

But I like it already for sure, the 16613 is a stunner and one of my favorite Rolex!

I think the Endlinks on the Daytona with Meteorite Dial there on this pic should fit your 16613 just as good! (as I don´t recall about any TT endlink for leather on the Daytona lineup...)


Regards,
Erwin.

I just had to edit a couple of images from the Official Rolex website to get this result for what I was talking about....

Tell me your impressions about it :)

It looks great to me. I like the unique yet congruent look. I would wear it heading out to Plunge at the Hotel Gaansevort on a Saturday night, when standing out in a fashionable way was part of my modus operandi.

I've had it on for about two weeks now and I still really like it. It might be awhile before I go to a brown leather strap or back to the bi-metal Oyster bracelet.
