Thanks Rich. I think it was the blue dots that put it over the top.

Thanks gentlemen!

Just curious if anyone wears the OP on a different strap...something casual.
Since I'm retired, the great majority of the time (99%), I'm just hanging out.

Edit: I do see that Everest makes a strap for the OP. Any others?

It's not an OP strap, it's actually the one for the Submariner.

I live not far from an AD that carries them and I decide to drive over and give it a shot, and it fits.

The Everest rubber fits as well, but the look didn't work for me.

The more I think about it the more I think that the bracelet works best.

Yes...congrats, Angelo!

Good call, IMO. I also would put the rhodium ahead of the blue by a nose.

Thanks guys. I absolutely cannot stop staring at the dial.
Although the blue is also gorgeous, I know that I made the right choice.
