bump… I want some 22mm straps for my daily. Is amazon my best bet or does someone have a go-to place. I can’t deal with shit that’s under 10" long, too.

Acquired my first Rolex yesterday. My dad got this new in 1989 for his 50th birthday. Mom passed it down to me yesterday for my 40th. While its nothing crazy Rolex wise its quite special for me having lost my dad 3 years ago. The bracelet needs a good cleaning but otherwise its in quite good shape considering he wore it every day for 23 years. Terrible pic. looked way better on the phone. ![http://www.clubhousecustoms.com/gallery2/d/15160-1/1989+Rolex.jpg](http://www.clubhousecustoms.com/gallery2/d/15160-1/1989+Rolex.jpg) And my wife bought me this Citizen Nighthawk. Im still up in the air on it. I love the look but it doesnt have the feel of the Tag or Rolex (obviously). I suppose it will make a nice casual or backup watch. ![http://www.clubhousecustoms.com/gallery2/d/15163-1/Citizen+Nighthawk.jpg](http://www.clubhousecustoms.com/gallery2/d/15163-1/Citizen+Nighthawk.jpg) Dan ---

> [@bing](#): > > send this out for a full recon with Rolex… it will be worth it. I did that for a rolex I got from my grandfather. It came back great, but was not inexpensive. Be happy you didn’t need an extra link or two like I did when I got it. They were over a hundred each. I went through scherer’s to have Rolex recon it.

Luckily it fits me nearly perfect. I think I can get it perfect by the adjustment on the clasp. I will def look into the recon. Im thinking it has to be at least $1k? Im not sure if Im surprised or not that they actually still make this particular watch.
