Finally got a "wide boy"

Came in this wk. 1601 / 3.1mm serial on vintage strap that I purchased a few wks ago hoping it would get use. Love the dial love the markers. Pls excuse iPhone pic.

3.1mm serial so anywhere between 71 or 72.

Very nice!

It looks like the case is grazing against the vintage strap though...Might be better on a thinner croc strap.

agreed, I noticed that and a tad bit ticked about it, I plan on getting this strap maker to make me another thinner at the lugs. I love the leather, the smell and pliability of this strap so want to get it right!
