PO on medici with orange stitch
Hi, I recently purchased a new medici with orange stitch and installed it on my PO. I am a fan of curved end straps cuz I think the gap between the spring bars and lug is way too big (am I the only one who thinks so?) and have been thinking about OEM rubber but my small wirst (16.5mm) can't take OEMs so changed my streeing wheel. I want the buckle to be in the middle of my wrist and medici is the best option for me.My first impression on medici is that the leather is super soft and the colored stitch easily kills boredom. I decided not to cut the fixed keeper and leave the fang (upside down position) so that it fills the hole. Here are some photos. thanks for looking,JW in Vancouver

It seems Rolex likes to make watches that leave us wanting for something slightly different, something more. That way, we'll buy now, but then we'll still buy something else in the future to scratch an itch. Brilliant.In 2007, when the ceramic GMT came out in stainless steel with a black bezel, WISs started calling for a Coke or Pepsi in stainless steel. So, in 2013, Rolex obliged---by giving us a two-color bezel. Just not a Pepsi or Coke. Don't get me wrong. The BLNR is a looker, its a seller. But it left many still wanting a Pepsi or Coke.Then in 2014, Rolex gave us a Pepsi. But it was in white gold and the bezel colors received a lukewarm reception. However, some of us ponied up the big bucks for a precious metal watch when all we really wanted was a stainless steel Pepsi or Coke.Now, in 2018, some will buy the new stainless steel Pepsi on
