So although the watch itself didn't have any changes to it I finally receive the final part to my 2533 TO dial with 2533 seconds. :thumbup:
I've tried multiple straps on this watch and just couldn't find the right look and feel to it until recently when I was on Risti and found just the right Donerix strap with a Torched Buckle :wtf: :shock: to go with it. I realize if everyone made a new thread every time they changed straps it would be ridiculous :lol: but this strap finally finished this watch.
I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I will.
The life of this watch began as a Getat sterile phantom :thumbdown: 45mm Radiomir with a gunmetal colored movement which can be seen in this thread:

Anyways as much as I liked that strap it just didn't feel right on it and I wanted something more vintage. For a while I had a burgundy colored strap on it but frankly the leather quality left something to be desired as after a month or so it still hadn't broken in.
The color of the dial is difficult to make out. It's not black but rather a grey-ish navy-ish colored dial. The glass is sapphire and really tough for a great day to day watch. It does have a bit of blue hue AR on it and that makes photography a bit of a challenge.
I know many last time recommended putting some age on the hands but for now I think I like the NOS look.
Enjoy.
