Incoming New Watch Band

Almost feels like getting a new watch since new watches from AD are hard to get. Makes the dial pop.

Sorry but IMHO Rolex watches always looks better on original bracelet,and far to many lug accidents after those who change back.

Looks good. I’ve got three Everest straps. A bunch from Horus. Then a handful of generic 20/21mm from Barton bands.

The great thing with the black sub is that it works with any color you decide to put on it. I just asked my AD yesterday to keep me in mind for a 116610LN for that very reason.

As far as scratches. Eh. I got over it. Used to tape up my lugs and act like a surgeon. Now? Yeah I’ve got some scratches on the bottom. Only I know they are there. My watch, my scratches lol.

Looks fit, nice and tight, I prefer to buy a new band and keep the original bracelet in the box, when needed, it always look like new.

In regard to scratching the lugs I am not concerned. I bought it to wear it and will never sell it. Someday it will go to my son/grandson, etc. I still have my first watch a Seiko from 1971 and it has had a lot of wrist time and still looks good to me.
