Explorr 4 Posted November 21, 2017 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! Treasure chest... open Sesame... 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glaude 1,615 Posted November 21, 2017 Yes anytime you have to spare to that thing, don't worry. Grey and black bond strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narikaa 129 Posted November 22, 2017 Bah Call y'self a purist 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.
