Just waiting on my chapter ring GMT OCC dial from HR and I can complete my "Holy Grail" GMT.

Are you planning to put yours on a rivet or just keeping it on leather?

I'm not a huge fan of the rivets TBH, the only one which has a rivet is my 5512 SCG. The rivets seem to hide the beauty of the details of the vintage pieces IMO, getting a matte strap brings out the details far better.

I can completely understand that, this one just has that "right" look with the tan strap. It is perfect in every way.

Thanks mate ;) the strap color plays a big impact on the overall look as well. I've got a perlon $5 strap which looks incredible on my Tudor gilt. To me it doesn't have to be the most expensive bracelet/strap to make it look good, it's all about playing with the colors and see what works ;)

I'm thinking about a mesh bracelet for my vintage pieces now, it will look interesting as we don't see it often here.. will be good for a formal meeting :)

The mix of classic Milanese and vintage Rollie's might actually go well together :rofl:
