    A strap for my n00b 168.0017. I couldn't abide the incorrect bracelet any longer. I'm very pleased at how it came out even though the gray is a little darker than I wanted. Now if I could just do something about the polishing and redialing...

    Bronze? I love the dial on that one, looking forward to seeing your phenomenal photos of it.


    Scooped up bracelet with an Omega clasp from @Birky101 the other day when he offered it during a giveaway. Arrived today and looks good on my f300 IMO

    Not bought, but made. 20mins on the lathe, and hey presto - an adapter to fit the new Elma basket to the old Elma machine.

    But I think I may have some springy extension endlinks that I can attach....

    Yep the case is what sold me on the watch it's in outstanding condition. The dial leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe one day I can find a suitable replacement However I can live with the watch as is This one is an odd ball swiss case vxn on the movement so far so good The crown is not correct maybe in the morning I can take care of that small issue
