    Hey all-

    Thanks in no small part to your help, I found a nice Ed White to make my own. Too many shoutouts but a big thanks to all who helped out and especially @AAAKK @oddboy @E-diddy @rollingrevolver @jordn. Here are a few pics! (please ignore the smudges on the crystal, shame on me!)

    Well done, I'm glad you pulled the trigger. Can't go wrong with a strong dial/insert combo like this.

    Thanks for all the congratulatory notes. It has been a pleasure wearing her for the last couple of days. And of course, the itch has returned. I dont know what's next, but it is good excuse to put a few $$$ away. As far as straps, I have some ideas about what I'd like, but how difficult are these to replace oneself?

    Congrats! Are you asking how difficult it is to change out watch straps? It's not too hard, takes a bit of patience and practice, my guess is that most, if not all, here do it themselves. You'll just need a spring bar tool, probably some extra spring bars, and most would recommend practicing on a cheap watch and/or taping the lugs for your first couple tries so you don't put a gouge in the case.
