Back in Black (Alligator Straps on 16518)

Since I have lost some weight (actually my AD convinced me to try his diet with him, it worked pretty well lost about 40 pounds from 200 to 155) my wrist got a bit smaller.

I decided to switch back to my regular size black alligator strap for my 16518. At first I was terrified to change straps on my daytona, and the first few switches did not go smoothly. I just switched back to my black alligator without much drama and the watch looks completely different.

What is the diet a Rolex retailer would recommend ? Spend all of our money on watches and have nothing left over for food ?

Thanks! I gave up a 16710 for it, and I wanted to buy another 16710 as I missed it, but I'm getting to the point where I am happy with the decision. It's a really unique and cool Rolex.

lol, He's a really cool guy, L&B in Montgomery Mall, James. Best rolex AD I've dealt with. basically eat 1500 calories and work out 30 minutes a day.

I've got it on a distressed leather band now, a little more laid back, it's nice to switch the straps and get different looks, or pop into a Rolex AD and get a different band.

I play around with selling it because I wanted a steel Rolex and I don't have any more.

I hope I win the SD50 and I'll take this one off the market because I know I'd miss this watch and it would appreciate and be hard to re-buy and then I get to have a new steel rolex without moving this one.

Thanks everyone!
