That's a real beauty. Is it solid 9K? What is the case diameter? That (newer style) crown actually looks pretty good on it. If you intend to find an original Oyster Patent crown for it, however, it probably will not be cheap...

It would look swell on a vintage style open-end dark brown pigskin, but one may be hard to find. There is an eBay seller named timesofplenty who has a plethora of open-end straps. Would yours take a 16mm, 17mm, or...?

Thanks everyone ..... it is a 9k .... 'Oyster Patent crown' will be swell if I can find one
