no point for me as at that price i have to throw away the bracelet
Believe me after the struggle I had sizing the bracelet I was close to slinging it and putting a leather strap on.Quote:

Another successful restrapping I think?
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4f24e606_o.jpg
yup, looks the business. sharper style and clearer lines
This arrived last week, just settled on a suitable strap (came on one of those awful mesh ones)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7f5f89bb_o.jpg
Nice seiko that
I got a long leather 20mm strap in for this. Hands just about got it on but not able to change buckle to gold . Still it's not obvious
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e00be39c76.jpg
Another nice 20mm strap I got. Buffalo grain with gold buckle,ex long.
A good seller on eBay and decent prices too. Will use again.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4d4c7e5117.jpg
Elegant looking watch Grant. :)Quote:

It's magnetic fastening foil plus quick connect. Rather nice it is once you get head round the no fastener bit that I have to say made me think they had sent a pup.
This is 20mm and I might get more if I like it https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bf52087df8.jpg
This was my father's... Bought in 1988/89.
Still runs perfectly.
Its a Eberhard 75th anniversary watch limited to 989 pieces.
Love it to bits. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...69b91415ab.jpg

nice and bright.. good holiday watch, and unlosable :D quite like it actually
Visited a boot-sale today, and was surprised to find two sellers selling very good fake Rolex watches. Good in the sense that the dials looked genuine and the second sweep hand did 5 ticks per second, as well as the presentation case looking exactly like the green Rolex case. I didn't look at the back of the watch to see how the back was screwed down - but at least the seller was honest, stating the only (!) difference between a genuine Rolex and the ones he had for sale was the internal mechanism.
How much were they asking for them Barry?Quote:

No I didn't. I already have one (genuine) Rolex watch which I have worn near constantly for the last fifty years.Quote:

Oh, and the one and only other time I removed it was when I was in Yemen, where it would have been an embarassing show of ostentation, possibly making me a target.
