Congrats, and pace yourself! Collecting watches isn't a sprint... It's a marathon!

1957: Good year... for the Russkies! But we got them in the end. Didn't we, Neil? (What the hell am I writing?)

ROFL! Brilliant!

My favorite are the gen owners that actively bash replicas and their owners, but actually have a number of reps in their own collections. The type that talk trash about the very people they call 'friends' on the rep forums while chumming around with all their gen buddies.

So on to finishing the strap. Use the edge tool to take the corners off the top and bottom of each side of the strap. Take your edge tool, wet the edges of the leather and rub back and forth vigorously to heat and seal the edges. It's looking good but it needs some stitching weight. Maybe this thread would work on a dress watch strap with smaller stitch spacing. Again any suggestions or insight from the professionals is welcome!
