  1. Save your money. Get a monster. Look for a used one. They're under $200, and truthfully can't really be beat by anything under that price.
  2. Wow! That's awesome! Was it hard to learn the brass plating technique?
  3. Ebay will have it. Or tandy leather.
  4. Leather will stretch if you get it wet. I'll be easy to pull it that little bit wider. Problem is going to come when you wear it. The strain pulling the leather lengthwise instead of width wise will pull it back to where it was before. You gotta remember, that's a dead animal hide. They can cut it perfect, but half a millimeter isn't hard to lose when they finish the edges. You could try getting some edge paint and just hitting right around the lug hole. That actually might be your best bet. You can peel it off if you need. Or get something called UW 13/8 it's a edge gloss. It's basically like a clear liquid plastic. Use a q-tip and just hit that end of the strap that sits between the lugs.
  5. Happy Birthday beau_bands!

  6. Could you find a new strap that's acceptable?
  7. wow! That's beautiful. Do you like that one better than the one with the black bezel?
  8. That's the one I'm lusting over at the moment. I ordered the 297 from trevor. But I wanted that one. After 2 weeks, what are your thoughts? I've heard it's good to soften the edges of the bracelet with a fine file, then wash and add graphite to make the bracelet move smoother.
  9. Make your own receipt with some receipt paper from a calculator and a laser printer. Change the margins to fit the paper, and use a real stores name. Just change the price. Print a few practice copies on regular paper. Then tape the receipt where it's printing on the page.
  10. Hi. I'm looking for a datejust1 or tudor oyster date rep. Does anyone know which dealer could get them?
