In an effort to just use my new watch without worrying about scratches (PCL), I changed the strap/deployant

The new strap and the "tool".



And the outcome.



And finally some wrist shots.

 

Works well! Always nice to have different looks for a watch..

 

Thanks. Another shot with its true colors

 

From the title and photo i thought your solution to scratches on the PCL was to wear it with plastic wrap. i prefer straps to bracelets...looks good!

 

Lol. I just placed the plastic because I knew I was going to struggle trying to take off the bracelet, which I did. Without the plastic, I would have probably scratched it up. Thanks.

 

OT: Ducati...and San Jose...Alice's restaurant much?

 

No, San Mateo. Been to Alice's off of 92 when I still had my bike though.

 

Ditto.

Norton rules.

 

Just have your PCL band center link brushed; there's no sense to me in not using a bracelet just to avoid scratching the polished center link.

 

After a few weeks using a strap, back to the bracelet. Feels like I have an entirely new watch. Can't wait till I receive my black croc band.

 

Looks great on the Bracelet and the Leather. I removed the bracelet from my PO because of scratching the offside (above 12 o'clock) whilst working at a computer. Currently I have it on a NATO

I now think that you can never have enough watch straps or bracelets for "the tool" .....feels like you've far more watches than you actually have

Learn how to remove your bracelet quickly without damaging it and swap around frequently to keep it fresh

 

Thank you. Yes, I'm getting used to removing and installing these bands. I probably won't use tape next time. Also, I only have two watches. Below is a picture of a watch I purchased when I was 19, 20 years ago! Lol. I installed the omega strap and deployant....

 

The black dial and dark brown crocodile combo for the Aqua Terra looks fantastic! And the stainless steel bracelet is not terrible, either

 

A brown strap with a blue dial is a good look.

.... and thank you for using the correct term "deployant". I can skip a day of medication now.

 

I hate PCL's, at least my AT has a brushed bracelet. I still love it on a deployment (That was for ULF) deployant but man the leather gives it such a rich look.

 

I thought the OP was going to show a shot of the watch completely encased in bubble wrap. I am glad the plastic was only for change over as well.

 

Nice, my Coke bezel 16710 is 15 years old and looks new like yours.

 

Thanks. So how many inserts do you have? I plan to buy a Coke too but I'm afraid that I won't end up using it. I'm having a hard time right now deciding of either using the black or pepsi bezel because I like both!

 

One, the Coke is just right. Red for sunlight black for nighttime.

 

So I have just received my croc band straight from Vietnam! Really not bad for $40.
