Centenarian gets a new lease on life

Recommended Posts

I found a pouch that was produced between 1895 and 1914, and this is a test piece just to see if it's worthy.

 

Excuse the photos, I just had to post as I just finished it. I will post better pics in this thread tomorrow.

 

I tried to keep the style of a nice vintage slap-together divers strap used and made by "yea olde" Italian divers.

And it burnishes like a ... well, a thing that likes to be burnished.

Updated pics.

 

Its only 24mm as a test piece, so I threw it on the most nautical watch I have. But I reckon it would look right at home on a nice old 3646 Kampfschwimmer.
