Picked up this great Tropic strap from @Uncle Seiko for the flightmaster a couple weeks back. Has been a really great summer addition, tho I really would love to see these offered in short lengths. Comfortable, and the era-correct style suits the flighty so well.
My new 1506/832 strap. I hate calling anything “NOS” but this is as close as you get. Uncut rubber, stickers still on the ultra-tight clasp. Really happy with the purchase, good price too.
I picked up "Patek Philippe: Complicated Wrist Watches" again. I had it years ago, found in a thrift shop for $8, sold for $250, missed it dearly, and here years later found another for $40 so I pounced. Really one of the best books if you love spending hours staring at the guts of complicated pieces and page after page of stunning dials. (It had a long trip via Media Mail so that's why it's relaxing in the hammock.)
Latest purchase not a watch but watch related, a book, Moonwatch Only: The Ultimate OMEGA Speedmaster Guide by Rossier, Gregoire
Cool, enjoy! They were on sale at Amazon Canada last week for $25 CDN, I was going to post the sale here, but I ended up getting the last one from that seller. My first spring bar tool.
Mine was kind of funny, my wife was at store were women go to look for stuff to buy. She saw the tool, sent me a photo. I said sure buy it for 8.00 dollars
Picked up some Oliver People's Benedict polarized sunglasses. I've worn probably every aviator in existence and these, by and far--have the best darned optics.
Crap. I just remembered. This isn't watch related, but I can make it watch related since I'm in waiting for a replacement to my speedy racing 9900 which arrived with a wonky second Chrono second hand.
Ah the last of the big spenders, a seatbelt Nato from WatchObsession which hopefully will sit well with my green Seiko Sumo ?
