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.....

Strap and tool kit. Probably will have the strap on my explorer 1 first

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:

Not a huge fan of the strap, but have a new one on the way. [emoji3] fd843db319b763017a03150abf317063.jpg
Very nice! One of the earliest US milspec watches I have seen.

Would look great on a bund or cliffhanger-style strap. ☺️

A '49 vintage with a 351 Automatic movement. Sitting on a new sunflower plant in the garden by the chicken run.

It's maybe the fertiliser you used, hopefully it will grow some more! 😀

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?
