Haggled a huge chunk off it too, the guy was getting divorced and knew he was taking a hit on it resale.
Poor bugger newly divorced and sorting out his finances.
Right place at the right time, one of those.
116500LN in stainless steel.
Oysterflex rubber strap is only available in gold, white gold, and rose gold versions.
He’d fitted the rubber strap as he preferred the look.
Over on the Rolex forums it’s a bit of a thing apparently, few guys have done it there.
Can see why, the 116500LN SS is half the price of the white gold one.
That and the Monaco were my two grail’s, so when one came up that was “do-able” I bit the bullet and did.
Have the Parnis white face silver bracelet Daytona, which I wear a lot and just as happy with.

nice watches... dont fit me with the standard bracelets and straps alas.... maybe a good thing as it saves me money:)
Your not wrong mate.
A private sale and just the circumstances the guy was in.
An AD would have bent me over a table.
Certina looks great with the contrasting green second hand, like that one.

quite nice i think.
Like that Grant. Very similar to an Ingersoll I bought but when it arrived the second hand had fallen off.

It was promptly returned.
And it’s a titanium Thursday

Obviously a man of fine taste. :D
Looks great on that Nato strap, given me an idea...
Something quite understated today

Some look better on bracelets, but I do love this one on a nato.Quote:

managed to get strap off this and put a black nato on...

Think that would suit a black nato better Grant.Quote:

not got another black that size.. try this wine oneQuote:

It's amazing how a decent strap can change the whole look of a watch.Quote:

Roy,
Assuming your not using a Hasselblad for your watch shots?
Seriously, what are you doing?
Taken with an iphone xr and then enhanced / tweaked a little with the phone's internal photo editing software.Quote:

dunno, but its actually quite a nice chunk of watch. (Tevise)
Taken the leather strap off this and put a nato on. Think it looks finehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6d27cc24ba.jpg
Yes, suits that strap Grant.Quote:

Too chunky looking with the traditional Nato way of lacing it up, but works well with the “over-under” way I think.
