Blue brothers
Incoming!!! What can I say I'm a sucker for the Nautilus blue! Wasn't bonding enough with my WG Sub so off it went to another home. Came across this double sealed 5980/1A and finally realized a dream of mine. Almost went with a black dial 5980 but just can't get enough of that mesmerizing blue. My wife says it's just like the other one but I'm convinced they are different enough. What do you think--will they be happy together?Haven't figured out how to add comments between pics but I've included a pic just after cutting the seals, some wrist shots and a group family pic. I've also recently added a VC Overseas Chrono. Haven't sized it yet, as I'm planning to put it on black rubber strap with a deployant. Not sure why the VC OS doesn't get much love as it's quite the value at current discounts. IMO it's one of the best options available in top tier makers that have a rubber strap. Would appreciate opinions on this one.

Air King 116900 spring bar size?
I was removing the bracelet this morning and my dog came up behind and bumped into me and a spring bar shot across the room. I need to get a new one and want to get the correct size. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
