Splendid timepieces, gents!

I think this dial might be starting to turn tropical...Originally silver, but seems to be developing a pinkish/brownish hue.

And thanks for the awesome input, Ben

Here's mine today - absolutely loving this new vintage Swiss Army strap from Wotancraft. The colour is sublime, and the stitching/buckle and d-rings are fabulous - very 'tool'. I think this is my favourite strap, and that is saying something, because I have a few good ones!

Have a good day all
I really like that starp on that piece! tons of character

I love it when you start to notice the fade in the bezel insert. This one was much darker when I first started wearing it.

Thanks Ben I'm loving the strap. Here's a indoor shot.
The insert on your 1680 looks amazing.
