Snapped a couple of pictures today and fell in love all over again.

ROO Elephant strap question
I have finally decided to jump into the world of AP and have decided on the AP ROO Elephant. I have a strap size question. I have a 7 1/4 wrist and want to also order the grey strap to go along with the hornback that comes with it and was wondering if I need to order the xtra small rubber strap for a tight fit? I am not a big fan of my rubber / leather straps being lose or should the standard size fit me right out of the box? also wondering if anyone knows how much the rubber strap retails for so I have an idea of what I am looking at.thanks again for the help

The right stuff
Over the last few months I've been doing a slight adjustment to my collection with the idea of looking for a few pieces with historical significance.While I've had a few Speedmasters in the past, for one reason or another they've moved on to new homes. As I re-thought my collection I realized any collection of watches with significant impact in the sports/professional community should include such an iconic piece.I went for the standard hesalite moon watch to represent the Speedmaster professional side of the house as, for me, this is the reference that represents all that is legendary about Omega's Speedmaster series. It sure helped that my AD was so accomodating.Sooo,....a few quick shots of the newest member of my little group.
