You guys are all older than I thought! The Cushman Eagle was like the coolest thing to own in the late 50's. The owners were all my hero's Relating to the aging of vintage watch collectors.....Who do you see at the watch shows? Not the X generation! Glad I'm not the only elder on this beloved site...Regards, mcotter

I recieved 3 from Trusty all in good order last week! All in all he (Andrew) responded promptly,sent as ordered, provided tracking info. He'll be my dealer of choice! Best regards, mcotter

LHOOQ....Input into the SM300..I have a couple of gens & a recent Military rep all w/ brite stainless hands. Yours appears to have white on all 3. I just recieved a set of hands from Otto Frei, Main hands are brite stainless & the 2nds hand is white like yours. Were any of these issued w/ this combination? Thanks,... your collection is truly amazing!Regards, Mike Cotter

CWP's is far better.

Justin, A leather strap is quite correct..Let me know the lug width & I'm happy to help! I hand stitch straps & can source the proper one My regards, Mike Cotter mcotter@skbk.com

You need a leather worker who can do hand work..Either a custom strap maker or a talented shoemaker...Regards, Mike

The mat black 20mm. leather should be easy to find! The orange stitch is another matter. It can be hand done w/o too much trouble. If you need help email me @ mcotter@skbk.com,I'll direct you to a source...Regards, Mike Cotter

Joshua, An excellent photo study! Your 1655 is superb & I'll need to own one rather soon. The criticism of the orange lume is not valid However,It is not as common as the off white (vanilla) colored aged lume in my opinion.Enough said your 1655 is the best I've seen! Regards, Mike Cotter

My thing is how do you get that dirty look to it? the dirty look is achieved following the abbrating step w/ artist supply burnt umber acrylic paint! Liberally painting your case & removing w/ paper towel all excess just before it dries ( 5min. or so) The umber will remain in all the nooks & crannies. A little practice & your specimen can be 50 years of age.....Regards, Mike Cotter

Toomuchgear, The 5517 is gorgeous! Need help sourcing the parts...Rgrds, Mcotter@skbk.com
