Whilst I realise this is the Omega Forum (best) I felt that some may appreciate the fact that the above has just supplied me with a great vintage style strap for my West End Trench watch.
12mm lugs on Italian leather & under £25 delivered.
The guard fits well to..Hope it’s not considered “Over the Top”!
I don’t have any connection with vintagewatchstraps.com but can recommend them highly.

 

Nice watch! but why cover such a nice dial with a Silence-of-the-Lambs like cover?

 

Maybe he is in danger of being hit by shrapnel?

 

Truly bonkers

 

Did you find that watch in the same cave Bane climbed out of?

 

I also have no connection with vintagewatchstraps - but I can strongly recommend his website: most informative:

http://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/index.php

All sorts of useful/valuable information.

 

Agree but hey! that’s what they used...
Unbelievable but true.

 

I only jest, its a lovely watch though We used to use these too.

 

Hey! Same as mine too!

 

I totally agree, David's site is a treasure trove of information.

 

I have commissioned a strap from him and will do so again. He and his web site are fantastic!

 

Did this belong to Hannibal Lecter?

 

The Watch in the Iron Mask.

 

No nasty shrapnel guard photo needed now!

 

It is in fact a shrapnel guard. Are you gents seriously asking the question? Helloooo.... this is a WWI watch.

 

They must be very young. They have to be forgiven
