It exceeded my expectation. Tried on leather but decided to use my 93150 instead.

Well done George! Love the patina on the markers - I think it complements the red lettering perfectly. My red sub is with ABC right now and I can't wait to get it back.

Wow George what a great piece. The vintage bug bites hard my friend!
Love the Even fade of your insert. Mine is very similar. Love the gunmetal color. Welcome to the club!
Hang on to that insert. After looking on VRF i seen 2 that were similar that have sold for over 1600 a piece. crazy

Gorgeous piece, gotta love that light patina & bezel fade combo! Looks good on the bracelet but personally I'd stick with the leather. Wear in good health

Very nice piece. Congrats! I like the change up with the bracelet to leather as well. The leather tone really highlights the patina.
