If you, or your partner, ever need to measure something up to 8 inches long then you're set! (Best not go exaggerating anything in the near future ... ).


Obvious comeback to that is ... "It's not long enough".

Not quite today ... but last week and just back from a quick fix the day after it arrived.
A good mate to the 'new version'.

They're both mine. I thought it was a cool strap for my watches since I own a construction company.

I was at my watchmakers shop today. He has a partner and some times his partner sells watches he buys off customers. So I asked him if he had any JB Champion bracelets. He opens a cigar box and Sim Sim ala Bim produces these. The horned bracelet is not JB Champion but Tradition. I had no idea Champion/Forstner was making these for, I assume, Sears. Almost new condition, horned ends, yyyeeeeeeesssss! both for under a $100.
I would love an opinion on value of the bracelet. Tradition vs JB Champion.
Does anyone have input on this Tradition bracelet?

Bit of an impulse buy from the bay... 69 straight writing, after agreeing on a "make offer" price. Fingers crossed on this one, could be a bust

My accidents usually cause more of a mess and never look that nice. Enjoy.

Well, picked up a 1966 booklet for my 105.012-66 CB at a GTG last night...too bad some kid scribbled on the back page!
