I've been wearing this one a lot lately...

This is with the new, much thicker Rolex strap found on the newer 116518s.

I've really been enjoying the dark brown color; but I'm going to RSC Tokyo this morning to pick up the light brown "tobacco" version of the thicker strap, which I ordered three months ago.

Man Otto, that is soooooo nice looking. I really wish Rolex did more strap options. On that gold Daytona, that is the cat's meow!

That looks awesome Otto, and I am sure the new one will look just as good!

I'd also like more strap options...

Over here in the land of the declining dollar, I believe it will be 30,000 yen. I'll find out later this morning if the price has gone up.

I cut on the chrono function to measure my flight back from Dallas on Sunday and forgot to cut it off at Narita. It ran for a couple of days.

I'm going to DC this weekend; so I'll probably time the flight again;not necessary, but it's easier than doing the math in my head.

Very very nice combination Otto.

That strap is similar to the strap on my Pam 231.

Now there's a strap that does so much justice to the superb watch - all class!!

Perfectly well said JJ!

Now, isn't it time for you to change the picture with only three watches? I heard somewhere that you had gotten a fourth, am I right?
