But what a piece though! Which TD?

I like the suede ones. I’ve only mounted the one watch so far but the strap feels good. Yes, it’s not a $100 strap but for $6 if it lasts 6 months that’s fine as with rotation it’ll last years lol. Thanks Martijn, I certainly will.

....... it usually is, but not in this case. I bought a nice little rep M2M and it came on a bracelet which I love. However it’s a hair puller so I thought that I’ll change it onto leather. The problem was that the watch has a lovely blue/green dial that changes in the light and I don’t have a strap that compliments it. Luckily I found a link to a supplier in the EU that ships cheap natos. They also had some nice suede straps including a bottle green one that would look great. With discounts applied I paid less than $30 shipped for 6 (yes 6) suede straps. Im not affiliated with the company in any way, but if you want a couple of cheap straps you could do worse than give them a try.

New in from a M2M. The bracelet pulled the hairs so now on leather

@XM195 Looks great. I’d take SSTEEL up on his offer. @SSTEEL I’m a student (of life), do I get the discount too?

@nikki6 Looking good, kinda colour coordinated with the ink.

Tyres

Never heard of them so I'd say NO. Look in our trusted dealers section and you will get what you pay for. https://rwg.cc/forum/230-watches-clothing-parts-accessories/

Ask for it if you feel it's needed. The TD should have the watch there and be able to do so quickly and easily.

On an Omega Seamaster with a ceramic insert I removed the whole bezel. Then carefully with a sharp knife I slowly prised the insert away from the glue and removed it from the bezel. Not too difficult and took maybe 20 mins. Easy to refit the bezel and then lastly the insert.

Just listened to a bit of AC/DC. Seemed appropriate given Malcolm Youngs passing.

Happy Thanksgiving to our 'merican cousins from the other side of the pond.

Looks a fine watch. Congratulations upon reviving it.

Thanks for the update. Any photos you wanna share?

Beer O'clock.

Glad to hear it. Looking forward to some new photos.

How are we getting on with this?

That is also a good approach when dealing with modders too!

Welcome aboard. Your 1601 looks great, please feel free to post some more photos.

I'm not a Pam expert but to my untrained eye it looks gen.

Simply Seiko today.

Hands

It can be fixed. SSTEEL has mine with the same movement. Send it to him and he'll fix it for you.

Personally, I'd start a private (PM) conversation at this stage. You may want to discuss things like various options, prices, lead times, location etc in private.
