Conex 0 Posted June 11, 2014 Jerkstore build with additional SSTEEL-love. Sweet. Never been a fan of the jubilee strap but I am warming to it, especially with these vintage GMTs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conex 0 Posted June 11, 2014 Any thoughts on this http://www.ttw888.co...products_id=624 I have that exact watch mate. It's a lovely rep straight out the box. Check first pic on this thread. I got mine from PC but it's the same version as far as I am aware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiruku 25 Posted June 11, 2014 Very nice! Has Andrew got them in stock? SS strap wont be the best, but it gives you an excuse to spend more money on some leathery goodness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kloro 0 Posted June 11, 2014 Sweet. Never been a fan of the jubilee strap but I am warming to it, especially with these vintage GMTs. I hear you! I am kind of meh about it in pictures, but once on the wrist it grows on you, it feels kinda great actually. My humble opinion is that it just suits on vintage Datejust's and sub16750 GMTs.

Saw a picture of Paul Newman wearing one on his Daytona in the 70s. Lord knows where he got a 19mm Jubilee from. I guess at the time they were probably easy to get. Anyone??

Conex 0 Posted June 11, 2014 Cheers conex,thought so,whats the plexi like , Well I am a massive fan of plexi so I love it. It's got a lovely dome shape. I can't imagine the 5512 with the modern crystal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me personally, I would like the dial and lume vintagized. I have done a bit of vintagizing externally myself with the watch and strap. Subtle bit of work. Newman was one classy dude.

OP wanted $40 plus fees, making it $64 for shipping to the UK.... I'll tell the jokes! :hmm: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
