For anyone outside of Chicago, there's an iconic tv ad for a local junkyard that's been running constantly since the 80s. Guy opens the door of his junker car, door falls off in his hands, then he's handed cash for the car as it's hauled away to the junkyard. His oversized leather watch strap with rivets really stands out.

So the junkyard is going out of business and WGN morning news recreated the iconic ad with the original actor. They got a closeup of the original watch strap that has at least 2 buckles, 4 rivets and 4 rings visible sans watch. @Duracuir1 take note!

I had noticed Brad Pitt's watch strap in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, but it's nowhere near as massive as this one.
If you're from the Chicago area, I linked to the story.

Anyone here ever rock a strap this big back in the day?
