I think it will be this one tomorrow same as today, as i havedone a bit od work on it over the weekend, A bit of history of this, I won it on one of PTs raffles, then dropped it and it became my project watch, the dial got vintageised a bit and then becase of super glue (i did not know any better back then) fumes when gluing the new crystal in the hands got a bit fuxked, any way over the weekend i have

Rebrushed the case

Brushed the hands to give a grained finish to the hands

serviced the movement

reglued the crystal in with sternkreutz UV glue

given the dial a matt coating

brushed the shine off the crown

And still with my 3rd ever home made strap

But I'm going back to the bracelet. It's 97F here with 90% humidity. The strap is getting gross.

Are those Jack Purcell's Freddy? I didn't think anyone aside me wore them anymore. Not sure if you are familiar or care, they were Pagey's shoe of choice when the band gigged the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. Too funny. Why I retain this insignificant info.? I do not know.

Good idea. I have never understood why people say straps are better in hot/humid weather.

Yes & the reason they are still so popular is this guy

So heres an idea.. since we have a new style section.. how about a whole OUTFIT check for the day!

I'm having alot of trouble taking pics recently I seem to have lost any and all flare for taking sharp pictures, also it doesn't help that I find the GMT II the hardest watch to photograph ever.. Anyway I tried to give it a go!
