This particular strap came from a black Top Gun Big Pilot from a few years ago. ...

Your thoughts on the strap?

I've been wearing it for years and I love it...

I’m really enjoying the new Ceratanium as my work watch. Love that the pushers are finally the same material as the case and like the more subdued grayed out hands and numerals. Very understated which works for me. ...  

Ceramic Doppel again today
