My '72 wide boy.
I never use it though. Don't like it very much for some reason... It's a stunning piece, but I'd rather have my Root Beer on my arm. Haven't used the DD for 4 months now.

Thanks!

I don't know. It's a little bit too much "in your face" on the arm of a 23 year old...

Yes, it's beautiful, but it might be a bit too much on a young arm. Why not put it on a nice leather strap or a leather NATO? Mine's on leather because I find full gold to be too much bling for me...and I'm in my forties!

I have a Hirsch leather strap (ostrich) with original Rolex gold buckle, but I never used it and now put it on a $30 Helvetia from the 50's
Several hundreds of dollar worth of strap and buckle on a $30 watch, the way it should be!

Maybe I'll get something else for the Helvetia and use the leather on the DD, maybe I will love wearing it again! But honestly, I bought the DD mostly because of the president bracelet, it's astonishing. So beautiful, elegant and majestic.

Cutting out all the US dealers really makes this a LOT harder...(but somehow, a little more challenging/fun)!
