Thanks Guys (better Pics)

With Bracelet


On a Strap

Been Searching for one of these a Long Time.

And as I prefer to buy local and preowned It took a while to find the "Right" one

I think This is it


Cheers

Those are magnificent photos. Really. I'm impressed. In fact, the first one is now my desktop wallpaper.

I've never been influenced like this by the DD, congratulations.

I'm not a fan of Champagne dials on DD's but that Tapestry dial is gorgeous.
