Hi folks,

I owe a lot to this forum, thanks all for educating me. Thought I'd give something back in return. Yesterday my latest toy showed up, express mail from MR.

Enjoy the pics!

Here's the new guest at the party. An all time classic. Manual ST 19 handwind, crystal back, yes subdial spacing is off as always, and the @6 hand is moving - but I love it. Maybe send it off later to Kenny to fix the @6 hand and replace the crystal with a hesalite.

Got a lot of watch for the dough. Thanks to MR for a smooth transaction, can highly recommend him. Luckily, though direct mail to Germany, no problems with customs.

Questions? Happy to answer

Cheers

Explorr

I have got both, the grey and black - which is the thought to be Bond strap and the original from Goldfinger, olive with red stripes and black. FHgFWnz.jpg

Good reason too, 16mm strap on a 20mm lug looks shite!

Bah

 

Call y'self a purist

 

 

:giggle:

 

 

TBH back in that era when you wanted a change of watchstrap you could go to the corner shop and rummage through a great cardboard box of what are now termed 'NATO' straps and grab y'self a handful of them with your pocket money.

I often chuckle at all the doting carried out on 007's strap, when in reality it was probably the ill-fitting result of a Pinewoods Studio teaboy sent out with sixpence to get Mr Connery a strap for his watch.
