This is my 16660 I bought when I was 17 years old. It has been my daily companion for the past 25 years. Thanks Steve.

Ok folks.....
I'd first like to thank Steve-O for offering up these wonderfull straps for a giveaway!!
A great gesture IMO.....

It's also great to see the older Sea-Dwellers represented as they are my favourite in the Sports line of Rolex!!

There are some really great shot's here and the choice has been hard for me...
If only I could have posted my 16600,the choice would have been easy!

Now to the winner...............
