Odd day down at the shops...... picked my 1908 Hamilton up at the local watchmakers, took it in a week ago for a well needed day at the spa with a broken mainspring. She's back and running like new, with the correct mainspring he had in stock. And picked up a sorry-ass digital stopwatch for a certain job that often results in a smashed timer....... so who cares as long as its battery operated. But they do make an odd couple.....
Welcome to my family. Speedmaster 145022-69 29.110.XXX with very rare bracelet Omega "Oyster" and Chocolate dial. Unpolished, all originall, almost new, is really amazing.
I think you have to have 200 posts before you get a watch this nice...I'll PM you my address so I can keep it for you
Cool strap tool and case. Where did you find it? I ask because I REALLY REALLY need another strap tool I can bypass in favor of a bent paperclip or my penknife.

Today was a very productive day. The 'spree' from a couple days ago morphed into a 'rampage'... I'm not spilling all of my beans, but here's two that I bought only hours ago: Even has the original Titus signed crown, strap, and buckle! Then, a sweet 1950 14kt cal. 22AS:
Very nice! One of the earliest US milspec watches I have seen. Would look great on a bund or cliffhanger-style strap. ☺️

Wonderful, Todd. Is that from Zaf? I want to see that in person! What kind of new strap are you getting? What's the interlug width?
