Although I have yet to try it, I've often thought this watch would look great on the right strap.

I like it. I'm partial to steel on the sportier models but I consider the Millie more of a dress watch.

I think I would like it much better if it had the end links like the white gold daytona. I don't like to see that much space between the case and the strap.

I liked the look until the third photo down. The unfinished look inside and in between the lugs is a turn off for me. If it was polished it would look better IMO. But nice pic's Frostie.

I may be excommunicated for this but I think it looks better on leather than a bracelet.

I like it.

It is on a good quality crocodile or alligator strap and that makes all the difference. In the back of my mind I'm thinking "orange stitching" for an exotic look.

I do not agree with the "third pic" critique. Since when is that sort of viewing angle normal in real life?
