Here's The New 243.....Finally!

Ok, sorry for slacking on this pics guys. I promise they will be better after Christmas and my wife opens up her new camera. Way better than what I'm using now.

Anyway, loving on the 243 big time! It's sitting on a KEVIN Ammo strap. Tell me what you think....

Actually in terms of height & weight, they aren't far off. It's a totally different presence on the wrist though, which is what I wanted. The bezel is the most prominent.

Rolex and Panerai are pretty much my staples and I intend on getting a Maxi dial/super case Rolex next. I like to get different references to define a brand.

Although the BP has been calling my name BIG TIME....

I knew someone was going to mention the lack of a wrist shot. I couldn't for the life of me get a good shot to come out though. Soon enough!!

As always I was drawn to the photos first and in particular the strap as I thought it looked interesting (in a great way!). Then I read your post in full so I guess there you have the answer to the strap. It looks great!

Enjoy the new addition and the new camera once it is revealed!
