Thanks Bernard. That name rings a bell? Where have I seen that name before?

ACtually I mean straps and bracelets. I normally remove the original straps and bracelets and put on aftermarket ones for watches I wear often....usually all of them...except maybe the omega. bought it impulsively as one popped up for sale as I was reading how rare this one was and also love it when Hodinkee gets it wrong LOL - btw I dont like Hodinkee site as it gives me crazy ideas that send me on a rabid search. Come to think of it, your blog does that to me too Bernard!
