The strap is matching surprising well.
He does have an impressive vintage collection.

The Rolex GMT with an all blue bezel is new to me.
Apparently it's military issue.

Issued to the Peruvian and Arabian military. It is said that some made their way to RSC and was an option made available to customers until stock ran out.

Could be wrong but I believe the subs re Tudors, reference 7922 (with no crown guard). And the one in brown dial with the crown guard is the ref 7928?

Good eye.

The no crown guard are 7924. The 7922 have smaller crown.

Had the opportunity to try the vintage piece last week. Stunning piece. Now will wait for the modern reiteration.
