A strap and a half...


Recommended Posts

The leather strap on my Hamilton X-Wind chronometer is giving up the ghost and starting to crack around the catch holes - they're double holes for a two-toothed buckle - so I've bought myself a new one. The watch, even second-hand, was quite expensive, so I decided to buy the right strap, with the Hamilton name on the buckle. They're also not easy to come by - certainly not in the UK - and suppliers are usually in Germany, Italy or Spain. Oddly enough, not Switzerland.

So I got mine from Spain. Cost? £120 plus p&p. I think I'll have it framed... :D

Happy Birthday from me Will.
Ok it was expensive but so what, if we can' t have a treat at our time of life it would be a pity. You can admire it when you lift a glass in celebration.
Cheers,
Vic
