Very nice change. If you don't mind, how much was the changeover - and did you keep the tapestry?

New Roman Pyramid Dila on DJ

Thx for all the kind comments, I'm pretty happy with the change. As to the question on the dial, yes I did keep the tapestry, may want to change back some day. Purchased the dial on e-bay, and the dial change was included in the watch service by Rick Littlefield of 'Pieces of Time'.
I'm planning on putting a leather strap on it with linkd from eugene(Etur); will post pics when completed.
