A great shot - a fab 1665. Why not try a strap? Oh, I know... it's a slippery slope!
One will lead to another. But it's fun, and they look great as well. GFI I say!

The bezel on the 5512 is just like on my 1978 5.6m 1680, all original except for the "tophat", which I bought in 1984 so I know it's not been "molested".
