My 2.36 million series 5513...

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a picture of my 2.36 million series 5513. As far as I can tell, everything is all original except for the bezel insert, pearl, and crown. I recently got it back from Dalton at ABC Watchwerks after he installed a NOS superdome and sharpened up the case a bit. The watch stays on a one piece nylon band, and is absolutely perfect on the wrist. What do you guys think?

Thanks for all the approval guys. The strap is a gray Timex Weekender strap. It is by far the best nylon strap I have found. The material is nice and thick but soft, the seams are both stitched and heat sealed, and the hardware is solid but not too bulky. In addition, it is more like a Zulu rather than NATO strap because there is no second layer under the watch. I like this because it makes the watch sit flatter on the wrist. The only potential problem with this strap is that if you have a big wrist, it might not fit. However, seeing as I have a tiny wrist, it has never been an issue for me.
