The leather strap I found had a bright white color stitch on it. So I dug into my son’s felt pens and found a good color that I applied to the stitch...

Here is the new matching result-

 

Another wrist shot in a different light. This watch is now the weekend keeper. Plus I can keep the older stainless band in a drawer where I won’t scratch it..

 

that turned out very nice!! and great looking strap too!

 

Nice matching of the lume patina. For that matter, nice lume patina as well.

That a early 90's model?

 

Thanks Gents-

I believe it’s a 1989.
