Having bought a NOS pigskin strap, and not having a 14mm buckle, I opted for an aftermarket £6.99 one.



(My general approach is that I buy aftermarket straps so why not an aftermarket buckle)

I am the only one who came to work in my department today. Gotta be honest there is not much I can do unless someone gets approved for housing in the next 45min. Might be a low key day.

I’ll definitely be wearing a Speedmaster today, but first there will be Omega strap/band organization…chaos will not be tolerated…

Did you ever have difficulty deciding which watch to wear? I had that problem today. So, I opened up the vault, opened one of my cabinets, and decided to allow a watch to make up my mind. This is the one that chose to be pressed into service. This is a virtually NOS Bulova Accutron from 1964. I can only conclude that it was an unsatisfactory performer by the late 1960s, and the owner (at that time) was unable to find someone to return it to health. This one found its way to me from MB poster @Laneside from Scotland. I too was unsuccessful in curing the problem caused by a rusty Accutron 214 movement, so I went to my stash and serviced a replacement movement, and voila! Love it! Unique in one way. A gold shell case which I rarely see on Accutrons.

I got this 1952 Constellation 2648 from cristos71 five years ago. Such a beautiful watch and perfect for wearing today.
