Where I bought it. Off it went to Dalton.

The bracelet was stretched beyond repair so I have it on a strap.

Hats off Brian! I'm glad you opted to leave the case as is. The new crystal and rugged case is great combo. The strap looks good too.

It looks absolutely great.

Am I right to think this bezel is a less common than the 'usual' smooth fluted bezel?

While its a shame the bracelet could not be saved, the DJs do look very classy on a strap.

Thanks, everyone. :thumbsup:

QUESTION:
does your date wheel have the "open" or "closed" number style? (look at a 6 or a 9)

I don't know. Never looked.

When a 6 or a 9 come around, I'll look.
