What a difference . . . . .
Dr No seemed impressed with my Karree Perpetual. One day he told me he had just the thing to "spruce up" that piece. Shortly after the Christmas GTG in Alhambra, a package arrived from Dr No. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised how nice it looked. I always thought the plain black strap was very dull on my Karree, and wanted to add some color. This grey strap sure did the trick. It's like Cinderella going to the ball, but without the midnight curfew. I can't thank Dr No enough for this generous gesture. I had to wait to post the pictures because of a delay in getting the correct GO deployment for this watch.

Thank you, Art, for everything.

On the issue of aesthetics
That is a fantastic combination. Am I correct to assume the undersurface of the strap is Shell Cordovan?

Regarding the strap, Richard . . .
. . . it was sourced from a prominent French strap maker around the time I'd sent my steel Karree perpetuals for service. Shortly after this strap was received, a local source for composite straps featuring shell cordovan as the lining appeared, so I decided to go that route instead. When I saw Frederick at a G O event back in November wearing his silver dial Karree, any thought of keeping this particular strap as a spare vanished. I knew it would look just right attached to his watch! Cordially, Art
Art is a gentleman, indeed.
And I'm proud to say, a friend of mine.
All is great here, from the gesture to the strap without forgetting the watch.
Best,
Nicolas
My pleasure, Frederick . . .
