I'm a father of 3, and still have a friendship bracelet that still hangs from the neck of a high-end, custom-made guitar. I have a painted rock on my dresser that says world's best Dad. I dressed in a costume and got together with several just-as-uncoordinated dads to perform at my daughter's dance recital but I have to draw the line somewhere.....
Cleaning up a polished surface isn't bad. Brushed or grained surfaces, however, you are more likely to make them worse instead of better, as I have found to my horror. I leave those for the next service. That said, I have had bracelets refinished when they get too badly beat up.
Polyester- that’s my line.
Yeah! Rayon forever!
(Notable exception: outdoor clothing designed for cold and damp. Cotton kills, wool is better, but poly blends are best.)
Always wool for me- socks, undies and all base layers.
For the first time in my 4 years here, I wish there was an "unlike" button. The elastic band bracelet on that particular watch is just wrong.
Tooooo heavy. 😀 I picked up a set and then some of surplus ECWCS, which meant different things at different times.
Those military designers knew what they were talking about, for sure. Even the surplus stuff is expensive but one coldish sloppy Wisconsin winter convinced me, and there's nothing wrong with light weight, either!
We all have our preferences. I have winter and summer weight merino- never had any issue in many years of grueling field work (both sub-zero and 110f in Alabama) -and I’m like the princess and the pea- one fiber out of place and I’m tearing at my skin.
Does anyone one else suffer from this hazard? Surely everyone who wears these stupid beaded bracelets does? I guess i could wear them crown-side, but i still imagine this would elicit some rubbing and scratching..
If I owned a gun...
If I owned a gun...
I'll tell you why this is right!
Doesn't matter what you wear on your wrist.
We need to get more people into this hobby.
Get more people involved!!!! Get YOUNG people involved.
I like seeing people change up their wrist game. Wear them with beads, whatever.
Keep them fun and exciting; create memories.
A few years ago rainbow Daytona was a crime. Today, people can't sell their house quick enough to buy one, IF AVAIL.
(my house is for sale. My Rolex rep just called.)
Watch collecting is a funny thing. There's no right or wrong.
One thing for sure, the circle needs a lot of help expanding.
FYI, this forum is 99% male. That alone puts this hobby at a 50% disadvantage.
So when my daughter asks me if she can make a strap for my watches. There's only one right answer:
"Which one, baby!"
There is valid reasons why there are gun laws. I would not be a good candidate for gun ownership as if nothing else it would be prone to off-color amusement 😁
