This is one of my all time favorites! I just missed this about 8 weeks ago on another site and lo and behold, the buyer who beat me...and paid a few more bucks, never wore El Capitan.

I then, shall wear El Capitan on the majestic chicken skin strap with "Seagull" deploymant. Any suggestions for what to put El Capitan on?

Some very quick picks... I just wrapped up an 11 hour day and there's a thunder storm moving in fast. I want to give this a go in better conditions.

So now I've got my very own RADO Captain Cook which I have dubbed "Captain Chickenstrap" and simply "El Capitan".

 

Cheers,

 

Pax

That watch I like. Remind me of a vintage Doxa with that case shape.
