sorry gents, when the pres makes custom rolex’s and you get one of them you wear it and learn to love it. i’m going to look at strap options and maybe do a red theme (sweep second and strap stitch) like this one: ![http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/klmedia/blackred1.jpg](http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/klmedia/blackred1.jpg) i have to wait a bit longer to get it since it’s at one of our out of town offices and they dont really want to ship it considering the amount of insurance it would require… gotta go pick it up in person. ---

he has a lot of nice stuff but too heavy on the rolex’s which means he probably deals with mostly douchebags and not many watch guys. ---
