These would look nice on both the Tissot or the Bulova and give them a whimsical feel.
i like the green one but IMHO the purple one would not fit a dress watch with that sporty side stitch.
(I’m biased, I hate those side stitches on most cases - they are often too thick and to me come across as a quick and dirty way of holding two pieces of leather together. so at least if used they need to be on a sporty watch which matches the casual look of the stitch.)

I agree on the side stich although I do own a couple that came to me on watches and they work on a few vintage sport pieces I have- but I too prefer a fully finished strap. Bulang used to carry a fantastic deep plum strap that was fully stitched but it looks as though it's gone now.

The older style pigskin (?) band of my Pratina has turned out the be the most comfortable band I've yet found.
Occasionally lots of NOS 40's-50's pigskin bands have shown up on Ebay.

Man this one is screaming out for someone. Great dial. A mixture of sparkle and woven texture. Also the seller knows to show it off in some sunshine. Needs a service and has some scratches on the crystal but still... https://www.ebay.com/itm/274486701367

Thanks dude, just arrived. It’s got some issues but it’s going to be a fun project.

It was listed as running quite fast and the micro rotor is rubbing on the case back - a common problem apparently. I have another 620 thinomatic movement on a slow boat so I’ll throw it all at a watchmaker and see what happens. Dial and case are pretty good though.

I have a UG microrotor at the watchmaker currently in need of some love so feel your pain. These esoteric watches are a joy until they aren't and turn into money pits.

This is a very smart looking Caravelle with gold dial furniture and chrome case. Lume looks great and I love those markers. Cheap-cheap! USA shipping only apparently, sorry Dave 🙁
