Beautiful. Love the custom end links to fill the gap between the strap and case. Where did you find those? I need to grab a set!

My initial reaction would be to get a new crisp bezel. I think it would make the watch really pop.
But reading through the comments, I agree that the polished case may not match with a crisp new bezel. That's what I like about the forum. Too bad you guys can't be around to tell me when my tie doesn't match my shirt. Also, I think it's a stunning watch. |

It’s insane how different the dial looks in different lights. Truly stunning

$400 for the OEM dial (eBay auction) $400 for the OEM crocodile strap $100 for the endlinks $200 for the dial swap Also have an extra strap/dial from the original purchase that I’ll be selling to offset. So this watch will effectively be less than $7k all in. I also currently have an 116000 Blue Dial OP that I will be selling (any takers?). So this was an essentially a free trade in (+/- couple hundred dollars). |

If you did, it's probably $ you'll never get back. The watch looks great with what you have done. Stop and smell the roses, you have a handsome exemplar as is now.

It's a job well done, It's good you've decided to leave it like that considering the public opinion, enjoy your watch.
