··Yoda of YodelersI don’t know anything about that sort of tool, yet it looks very well made.

·Final product:
Very cool. I do have a question, though. As an avid shooter, I have been told for years that you should not use a leather holster for long-term storage. The chemicals used in tanning can contribute to wear on the finish and corrosion.
I know that most of our watches are stainless steel, but stainless isn’t immune to corrosion. Was that a consideration when you made your watch pouch. Or, to the group, has anyone considered this when storing watches in leather cases?

To be frank, I had never heard that before so I didn’t take it into consideration.
I do thank you for brining it up and will look into it.
I might post the question on the open discussion forum as well.

·Not watch related, but time related. I bought a "life calendar" that shows each week of my life assuming I live 90 years.

Both in transit, Delayed by vaccine distribution no doubt.
The band is the right size for my wrist, too small for most.
PS
I forgot to mention these have 17.33mm ends, I just happen to have a couple of watches with this size lugs. Not a very common size even in vintage watches. Usually they go from 17mm straight to 18mm. 17.33 and 17.5mm are oddball sized these days.
This came from a large lot, all NOS and the same size. I suspect these were OEM for some particular brand and model that was discontinued before all the bands were used up.
The inside surfaces attracted me more than the outside.
The outside is rather plain but the insides show some thought went into the design. Like my Admiral the inside looks convex to avoid the edges digging into the skin. Should be very comfortable on the wrist.

·Last week I’ve bought a full kit for inspection of vintage watches while buying with all the tools, digital ruler, loupe, uv lantern for checking the lume, polywatch and couple fibers, etc. I put it in my car, because you never know when and where you’re going to face a nice watch!
