The original was too short for me, and they ordered a long from Switzerland. It is 28mm wide at the lugs! This strap is 24mm and you can see that it is shimmed with small pieces of tubing. It works in a pinch. I will be getting a dark brown or black strap from RW.

They also make a splendid rose gold version with a black dial for $7,500. That one is a limited edition. I forgot to take a photo of the movement through the exhibition back. I'll do that tonight and post it.

There is no cure, as you know. I've got it set up so they bring the watches to my wagon. I'll be in remission for awhile since I need to save up some money now....

The movement is the same size they put in a standard mens size watch, so you can see from the size of the case relative to the movement that this watch is truly massive.

You needed 9 yards of material to tuck around you to keep warm in cold Scotland. win

I have a book that lists the origins of such depressions. It's a lead pipe cinch to find that book. Generally I try to averd cliches like the plague.
