Back to work! 1861 today…putting its original band on to start phour days of phabulous phliegering tomorrow.
NOTE: The caseback protector is 3M black plastic tape that I custom cut to keep NATOs from ripping up the circular brushed finish. My other Speedmasters also have these custom 3M black plastic tape protectors installed. Also, 3M black plastic tape is used to protect the lugs during spring bar installation.
