...well, actually my second.

My very first was this 1915 Wilsdorf and Davis, Rolex signed pendant watch that was handed down to me...

...but this is the first I'll wear

No movement shot because I'm not planning on opening it, but I trust the seller and everything very much appears to check out as exactly as described and as expected for a very clean 1977 1601/1570 (1575).

It came on a very nice quality black alligator, but that just ain't me. Taste is taste, but I vastly prefer (and intended all along) to put it on this wjean red kangaroo leather G10-style.

Thank you all for your kind words.

To those of you who noted the strap choice...the kangaroo leather is wonderfully pliable and comfortable, but still firm enough to not be floppy. I'm very happy with it.
