Now THAT is what a DRSD should look like!! Absolutely stunning. Amazing case! And great choice on the insert. (The one with the super patina'd pearl should be back on your GW, IMHO). Big Congrats!

Ps. Sorry if I've confused this thread....I just posted my picture in exactly the same way, to show how clarkhatdball and my drsd's are identical twins!!
Hard to see, but they are two different watches :-)

Clarkhardball great choice of insert. Glad you got it sorted out. Perfection. Enjoy wearing it!

Scored another DRSD from my favorite dealer.. this time a "dirtier" version.. Again I am tempted to say unpolished... but I will let you be the judge!!!!







I think a darker insert would look better on this baby, what do you guys think? Unless ofcourse switching inserts is considered sacrilegious..

Cheers guys!

Gorgeous. I just love the dome of the crystal on these. And the beefiness compared to the Submariner. Really great looking watch!
