Are you using quick-release straps or is that too gauche?

Icon10 A Glorious Day



Never thought I’d see the day. Since I was a little boy in the 70’s watching my old man put his Rado and his Presidential in his top drawer with his money stash.

I am proud. My first post and my first Rolex a vintage 1987 two tone. She’s my daily. I am working towards a GMT in the future.

On the DD, are you concerned that the steel pins will stretch the holes in the lugs?

transitioning to tropical

dial looks black under most lighting but gets interesting when direct sun hits it at the right angle.
