Nautilus again!

Started trying to change the Nautilus strap myself Thursday evening, but did not have a small enough screwdriver and was worried I was marking the back of the case and stripping the tiny screws -- and I kinda was. Stopped mid-stream after a number of expletives, and ordered a 0.5mm Bergeon tool, but then last night decided I would try taking it this morning to a trusted jeweler that is 5 minutes away from my house. 10 minutes in and out. Best $24 I ever spent in terms of mental health and aggravation maintenance!

So far, I absolutely love the RubberB strap on this watch. I was very pleasantly surprised by the look, fit and feel of the Patek rubberized calf, but I traded for this watch with the RubberB in mind, and now on the wrist it is an even better fit than the rubberized calf and I think they totally nailed the look and style. Turns the 5726 into even more into of a sporty watch, which just happens to have an annual calendar and moon phase!

Looks great! I didn’t have many options back when I owned the 5726A, so I had bought the brown Patek calf from the RG models.

Can’t get this off my wrist. Has kept my Pelagos in the box for almost 6 days now. Never thought a quartz would do that (well
Maybe a 9F Image), but this thing wears great and is just altogether badass. Matt did a phenomenal job on these.

It’s true. Since the reduction surgery I’ve lost some feeling.

Most who have breast reduction surgery have that feedback.
