It's this strap from Archer. They are very high quality and the price makes them a great value.

Wowza, an undamaged, blue-sunburst, Sigma, Wide Boy dial and hands!
Congratulations Chris, that seems like quite a find to me. The sigma tells us the markers are white gold, does that mean the hands are also?

How about a sunlit wrist shot (or two) of that beauty?

Hey, we don't have sunlit days here in Ohio Maybe in a month or 2.

Carl, has one just like it except it's not a WB, I'll ask him and let you know what he say's about the hands.

Thanks for the kind words, in terms of condition it's the nicest watch I own.

Chris

Thanks for the kind words, it's a 3.6 so should be 74 or 1975 it's an extremely nice condition and recently serviced by Rolex
