That is a big statement considering all of the grail pieces you own/have owned.

Ordered my XS Diver strap last week. Finally got around to putting it on since I was on a trip for work. Disclaimer, changing the straps on these might make it the toughest watch to swap straps. Definitely feels way better then before but oddly enough I used only part of it. It felt either way too tight or still too lose with the new buckle side strap. So I used the new strap piece with the holes and the old buckle side strap. More pics shortly

Interesting John. What size is your wrist?

Beautiful elephant, I saw one at the boutique at Bal Harbor last month and you are right, you need to see this in the flesh. Truly outstanding! Congrats Jim

Congratulations! A beautiful piece. That was my second choice. But the urge to put a black gator or bracelet on it right away, as I don't care for the grey, and the current Canadian dollar price made me go with the new diver. It the elephant had sticks instead of numbers and a ceramic bezel, you'd have my grail! enjoy it!!

Thanks everyone. Emailed Betsy about getting the gray rubber strap for it. Think its going to be my new daily beater and the FC diver will take over as my casual weekend watch. I'm really liking the look of this watch. Very versatile and the dial has much more pop and detail in person.

Just heard back from APNA Parts and they don't make a direct fit for this model. Had to get the gray rubber from the diver and the larger diver tang buckle. It's an extra $364 but I like the larger buckle and less taper on the strap.
