Thanks. Something like that Ralph. One of those.

Mail-ordered a Belgian calf-skin 17mm strap for it...just arrived.

I love the strap, and your dial is the best of the bunch. Those thin numbers work and make the dial appear larger

jatco · 30 June 2016, 01:44 AM

I like it.. Alot..!!

Good morning Adam,

I find it very interesting that you can see the bottom of the "6" just below the Sub-Dial.

Not who, but where. Some early Tudors and Oysters like this one had the names of English towns and cities on the dials.

Thanks for the comments guys

Beautiful watch Adam. Classic look that I love.

Old Expat Beast · 30 June 2016, 01:22 PM

Thanks Flavio. I forgot to mention that my wife picked out the strap, after much browsing online.

Hello. I’m new here. I just acquired a 1947 Oyster Chester with the Oyster by Rolex stamp on the back. It’s a little on the small side but should work well with a suit. I’ll post a pic when I have permission.
