What do you think?

Got a new bezel for my 1680 red sub. Also got a Hodinkee strap :). Placed them on my watch to get an idea of what it may look like in the end when all is said and done.

What do you guys think?

That is a fabulous look! Faded insert with a vintage leather band is the way to go.

Sweet watch, though I am not overly excited about the strap to be quite honest! Needs a bit more color. But then again, who cares when you've got such a watch.

That is one of the nicest meters first dial and hand combo I've ever seen. Just stunning.

My preference is for the SS bracelet, but I have to admit the leather strap looks pretty badass.

Very nice. I also enjoy swapping out the SS for leather from time to time, easy way to completely change the look of the watch.
