Thanks guys. I'm really happy and feel very fortunate to have found it. Don't think I'll be wearing anything else for a while.

Holy shit Jeff. That is absolutely gorgeous. I think I'd flip all of mine now for one like that. Those don't come around often at all and almost never like that. Dude. Killer! :headbang:

Appears to have come with its original XGL-731 strap, which is almost as rare as the watch itself. Well done indeed.

Let's stop talking about it. We get it. Mods, nothing new here, let's shut this one down.

Jealousy? How about stupidity? Sold one of these a few years back for what was then the outrageous sum of $1,800. Oh well, hindsight is...oh fuck it.

It is the original strap. And it's surprisingly pliant and not brittle. Still, I have a couple of wjean's repro straps coming. I don't plan to baby this watch, I'll be wearing it regularly, but I think I'll put the strap away.
