Packages from Schaffhausen usually take a long time, so I was overjoyed when this was delivered

Looks great Mark, congratulations. Now you have two watches; the rubber strap and stainless bracelet can really change it up!

I did the same with my Boesch Aquatimer and it totally transformed my watch and I absolutely love it (I've never switched back to the rubber version). Congratulations on making the switch it really suits your Aquatimer version so well!! Enjoy wearing for many years to come.
Best regards,
Jonathan
