Magnificent watch and super heirloom! A refinished or new bracelet with a few NATOs and you have a gem! Good luck!

I am so pleased you took the forum advice. It really turned out nice. Throw it on a NATO and you might fall in love and NEVER put it back on the bracelet.

I recommend the MARATAC NATOs. They are top-notch.

Get a 20mm NATO for it

Clay,

I know this was a long time ago, but you mentioned that I had the wrong date wheel. What makes you say that?

Thanks,

Jason

So the date wheel is white and should have a brushed metal look. There's nothing wrong with the date wheel, it's just not completely correct for a rail.

I agree with Jason here, but I personally find the Phoenix straps are superior!
