President GMT Obsession (pic heavy)

I was very happy with my YG GMT with brown nipple dial and bezel on a leather strap...until I learned that a few GMTs actually came with a factory issued YG President bracelet rather than the usual 18k Oyster or Jubilee. I absolutely loved the look and so began my quest. It turns out the GMT President bracelets have rare 54 end piece (rather than the usual 55 or 55b). Well, I finally found one. Loving it!

The inspiration and result

Love the brown on YG. And a president bracelet on top of that. I had no idea this was an option. Big congratulations!
