Picked up some new shoes for the 6119R! It really changes the look of the watch. It’s amazing how a new coloured strap on your watch can make it feel like an entirely different piece!

Best wishes to you all!

The strap is a nice touch and I agree, totally changes the look. You’re going to be wrist-checking all day! Lol

I may try that with my vintage G-P Gyromatic, I'm tired off the black lizard strap.

Speaking about happy ownership, are you a happy owner of your electric car? Just wondering if you've had any problems or issues with it. I drive a Tesla and so far it's been fairly reliable. No major problems.

I had a Tesla for 3 years before the Taycan. Tesla was great but build quality was poor and the car quickly started rattling inside. Taycan has been lovely. Proper German engineering, luxury and refinement. The only thing that’s let’s it down is the range. I get around 200 miles if I drive sensibly. This is generally OK for me as I don’t often do long distance!

So far no reliability issues with the Taycan? Permit me to inquire, how many years and miles you've driven it? Definitely, the Tesla Model 3 has some build quality issues.
