You won't regret it Joe. It'll fit right in with your already outstanding collection.

And don't forget about the 5513!

Thanks Andy - yours too - both your 'new' inserts are great! Love that strap too.

Yes, I'm going got keep this insert on it for now - I just realised how much I like the original black one as well, when I looked through some older photos.

Yeah your original mint black insert looks great, and I think it looks best when on the original steel bracelet... Faded inserts look better on vintage straps I think..
