They are both beauties for sure! I like Submariners in general more than the Daytonas, but I love the Newman Daytona dials.

Vincent, from where did you source that NATO? I think that could work with my new rail!

it would indeed look great with your 1665. I got it from crown & buckle. It's heavier grade nylon, and stitched, with black pvd-coated metal parts. I have several from them; great quality.

Of all the things that people were buying at the time, that green bezel Sub was the one to get. Old case. New maxi dial. Green bezel insert. We won't see another oddball Rolex let's-just-do-this watch for a long time to come. I would have bought one myself, but the date complication increases the case thickness. I prefer the thinnest possible case in these already-big watches.

Didn't your daughter or someone like that make the bracelet? If "yes"; nice photo. Good job for keeping your eye on the ball and understanding what is important.

Yup. My niece made it for me while waiting in the hospital (waiting on my dad to come out of a procedure).
Thank you.
