I loved the concept of the case design and integrated bracelet, and rubber/gator strap interchangeable platform.

I could argue that this a legitimate contender to the nautilus line (though the 5711/12 5740) still rule for their thinness. If that is what you prefer.

Super smitten, and now looking for straps to use with this system

I have mine on the wrist as I type this. For straps, here’s some inspiration. Both custom straps from VC. Our friend jlux recently posted an option from Delugs, which looked fantastic too. Enjoy, Daniel

I saw the jlix post and know of Delugs so I am looking there too. I am thinking of an OEM orange rubber, too.

It’s a standard offering at the boutique. It does take several months though in my experience.

In all my watching watches over the years, this has to be one of the best looking, or the best, of all blue dials I have seen and owned. I am glad that you joined the club. It's an impressive watch to wear. I am mesmerized by that color of blue every time I wear mine. Great choice. Wear it in good health and enjoy.

One of my biggest selling regrets is a previous Overseas version. The blue dial on this is just sublime. For me,l ike the AP RO, the Overseas works best on the bracelet, but nice to have options too.
