Not sure, probably a google search away! Cheers, BTW

I wanna see a red sub with the Grey and red stripes. I like the olive green but think the Grey would match very nicely.

I'm quite happy with these, and think I'm done...

PS I never call them 'Roly' - just had to use it for the pun

Yeah, right, sure...... That'd bring said, those three are all you really need. That's a perfect tic-tac-toe!

Very true - so I went to bezel inserts instead (and a bunch more straps). But now all three have recently been expertly serviced; I've got boxes of straps to play with; and now a couple more great inserts, so the little trio 'project' is complete. I'm not looking to buy any more watches any time soon. Thanks for the compliment, Mr Beef!

I got the decent camera out today (after about a year of only using the phone camera).

Had a go at a few shots of the 'vintage trio', and thought I'd share some of the better ones. Hope you enjoy
