After many months, a cross-Atlantic journey, and several more months, this watch finally got a new crystal. I'd been wondering what to do with it. Find a stainless steel case ? Keep the crown, and sell the rest? Keep it for parts?
After a trip to the watchmaker for a new crystal, I finally got inspired to find a strap and wear it.
(sorry for double post)
The beauty of straps is that they can add so much to a watch.
This one just fits so nicely, I can actually see myself wearing the watch as is -- in all of its rugged beat-upness.
There's only one tiny problem: after 7 hours it was about 45 minutes fast, and now after about 12 hours it's almost an hour fast.
It actually sounds like it's on cocaïne....
