There it goes Yiannis. The idea, as you know, came from Jocke, but my strap is not a Rolex made, it is a cheaper one ( Hirsch - Austria). Jocke, had made a special clasp for the strap. I still search in my bits and pieces for the materials

But where do you get the bezel insert?
Will Rolex sell me one for my 16750?

Jocke, you have to stop posting this pic. It is driving me crazy.

I'm not thinking about buying a solid gold GMT rootbeer.

Oh boy....
