Decided to wear this one for a change

Don't wear this one much. Going out to dinner with some friends, which is not a rare occurrence. But pulling this beauty out of the case is!!

She is a beaut! I have to wear it down low on the wrist (almost uncomfortably so) so that it is always in view under the jacket cuff!

Looks good on a leather strap, deployment makes it look 2x as good.

Thanks guys! I think I'll wear her tonight as well.

For those who asked or wondered, it's a Hadley-Roma black crocodile with light padding (purchased from the Watch Prince) and an SS double-deployant purchased from Strapped for Time. Total cost was about $125, with extra spring bars (the original spring bars stay with the Jubilee in the watch case).

Not surprised that you'd like the looks of that one. Going out to a wine dinner (which means lots of wine and a few snacks) tonight--I think DJ needs to come along for that one too!
