Nice one Rich, welcome to Mr.D's Old Shoe Club - there's quite a number of happy members floating around the forum now ;-)
I love the Chronomatic but feel a more traditional bracelet or corfam is more dignified for the "grand old father" of Monaco's.
I have to agree with your young lady and say i feel this stylish strap has found its home on the Fume Silverstone, they make a great match.
I have mÿ own "old shoe" firmly planted on my patina'd 2446 big register Autavia and love the feeling the strap gives to the delicate time piece.

Cheers one and all, have a good weekend - Darren
