Received this from the mailman minutes ago, and I'm very much looking forward to giving it some wrist time. Thank you to Peter (penguinbce), for your efforts in getting this one running once again, much appreciated. Any recommendations, as to which period correct bracelet I should put it on? I'm not a big fan of the razor, which I believe was original to this model. I'd certainly consider it if I could locate one, but might be happier with something else.  Also, another thank you the Peter, for including this bezel/insert. It's not without it's wabi, but I gotta tell ya...I don't hate the look.   |

That bezel/insert only looks half bad. It should suffice until a better OEM insert comes along. Better it be on your watch than in my drawer  |

Terrific, well done Pete! Russ, It was a real learning experience. I now know that most of the dial side parts are not interchangeable between the 6119A, B and C versions! The quickset mechanisms are completely different :-/ |

Any recommendations, as to which period correct bracelet I should put it on? Might look nice on a repro. bullhead bracelet. |

Sushi Roll looks awesome. Not bad for a freebie, huh? Nothing in life is truly free  If it were me I would throw that bitch on a black leather with white stitching to complement the dial and hands with pilot rivots to complement the sushi rolls.  |

Problem is, I've got somewhat of a flat wrist, and thick strap don't fit me very well. |

I also just landed a black sushi, and have the same question. Here is mine (NATO) until I can land an original bracelet.  I checked the catalog for pictures, and can't find it in the 1969 catalog. |

If I'm not mistaken, this model came on a razor hybrid of sorts. I think Aaron posted the pic a while back, but I can't find it now.
