Rolex Day-Date on Nato?
Rolex Day-Date on Nato?

Anyone ever done this, or am thinking crazy again?
In any event, I'm thinking about trying this out. I' going on vacation soon and would rather not wear all gold etc.

Pics would be appreciated.

NATO?

I'll go with the 'thinking crazy again' option.

A YG DD on a nice black leather strap looks ok though.

YES!!!! I ALWAYS stop there on my way home from the gym on Saturday mornings and stock up for the weekend. I am very excited bc I saw a sign that they r opening one about 5 minutes away from my house in Plano.
Time to send the pants to the tailor and my watches to Bachendorf to add links and let the pants out at the tailor!
