Is it a bit worrying when your ecstatically happy about tracking down an old Casio strap that matches your retro Timex perfectly?
(Only problem with strait jackets is that the sleeves are always too long)

A straight jacket must be your worse nightmare Roy as you wouldn’t be able to see your watch never mind change it every few hours!Originally Posted by Roy S

That straps a great match, and I love the crazy dial numbers on the other one.

Got the Monaco back this weekend,
After nearly 4 months back at Swiss HQ for full service.
Full mechanical work over (parts stripped, cleaned and full Regulation on reassembly)
New Crystal
New Crown
Rewaterproofed (with New Gaskets)
Case Polish
New strap and Deployment clasp
Part of my Boys Inheritance,
So keeping it in top nic is worth it.

Looking good Gary. What had happened to the crystal & crown?
Changed the strap on mine, don't find those deployment clasps very comfortable.

Nothing Roy,
Far as I knew they were tip top?
Just part of the service I guess.
The blue sunburst on your Calliber 12 is awesome,
Happy mine's has (half!) that, which is different from the flat blue of the non Gulf one
