  1. Interesting... what are the ligne and stem height of a Felso 4007?
  2. I picked up another strap for Da Beast. Black polished stingray and tribal stitching... it's a great combination! ps: yes that's a Panerai buckle
  3. Bwahahahaaaaa! Remember this is a family friendly site, mate! Come to think of it maybe that explains Stu's pic.....
  4. Very nice Andy! But we all know that's not your girly little wrist... was Stu down visiting?
  5. I've got one on my Orange Monster too and it's a heck of a piece. Strong and well built. I really like the BIG look it gives the Ploprof, so it's more "balanced" top and bottom.
  6. Here's where I got mine. You can get different custom lengths too, I did 190mm for a couple bucks more. https://www.ebay.com/itm/322642828752
  7. A little birdy told me he found a few more of those same dusty old Pateks in a box in back of a shop in the MBK mall...
  8. I picked up a very handsome Ploppy from a gentleman in jolly olde London and it's a joy to behold, but darn if I never wore it. Something about it was just...... off. Unbalanced somehow. So I was wearing a Pam 6154 with a lovely thick wide strap and realized part of its persona is that wide strap. I looked the Omega over and realized there was a big massive head and a comparatively puny shark mesh band. Plus the original clasp was a disaster to keep adjusted. The light came on. I went fishing in the eBay pond and came up with a 24mm by 190mm shark mesh band that's built like a tank and the clasp has a nice low profile. I fitted it up tonight and it makes all the difference in the world. Now I've got a massive band to counterbalance the massive head. It looks amazingly better and the clasp is a dream in comparison.
  9. Very nice! Have you ever tried an Eskimo ulu for cutting leather? They're amazing.
  10. You mean this nasty old beat up 1675? No way... I can't take advantage of an old friend like that. The Yacht-Tona is irreplaceable and almost infinitely valuable. My 1675? Not so much.
  11. That's not a bad looking case at all, and alligoat is right, it shouldn't be that pristine. That's easy to fix. The key is long thin lugs and a THIN case profile. Everything else is "close enough is good enough".
  12. My God!!!!!!!!!! Right there, in the flesh..... I've heard the rumors but discarded them as nothing more than schoolboy fantasies. A 5-liner black dial Yacht-tona? I would have scoffed that you were joking, but the photographic proof is indisputable. All Hail the Yacht-tona! Your Great-grandfather was a man of means and discernment. Thank you for sharing! Sorry, I'm feeling a bit emotional........
  13. Too much firewood on the last trip??
  14. Hang in there V, we're counting on your VIP checks to keep the server running. Seriously, you'll be in my prayers. Be patient, heal up slowly and well. Get strong and ornery again. We'll still be here.
