Nice to say hi to another
Air King owner 😀. I did not know about the criticism for the ‘missing’ 0, I had assumed that after Bloodhound ended and with the new ref, Rolex just thought it time to update a bit.
I hope you enjoy yours even if you are moving into winter, sometimes the winter sun can give great lighting for a good photo 😀
All the best D

Hello Kurt! It looks like Spring is making a rather shy but steady arrival in your place. But plants and grass announce that it is there and that you´ll be able to enjoy a nice Spring Time soon.
Loved your shot of lovely Margot signaling the presence of pheasants nearby! Thank you so much for your entry Kurt! Have a nice Sunday. Best, Abel
Many thanks for hosting Abel
Spring is when I swap out my winter straps for lighter colors with caoutchouc linings. I live in a climate which is sunny, hot and humid so rubber lined straps are the way to go in summer. This one is rubber backed canvas compare to the winter alligator. ...

I really enjoy the Duometre in the summer in this strap. It’s an absolute whir of activity when the Chronograph is running 😊
Superb watches & perfect choices for straps !
My personal favs are the very first light blue, the one for your Panerai and the hilarious one for your lovely Voutilainen GMT-6 ! Well done !! 😊😊
Great theme Abel!
