Finally got around to getting a strap made, thanks for the suggestion re Belt and Band.

 

Now just waiting for SAPO to deliver a vintage dial which I got on ebay - to replace the missing star on my Constellation.

 

 

Quite a rabbit hole vintage watches, got a few projects in the pipeline which I will post when they are done.

My mom has a pocket watch which belonged to her great uncle - a 1908 IWC. Pocket watches are not that useful and she had had it serviced but it has sat in a box in a drawer for years. I came across the Houtbay Watch Co - they convert pocket watches into wrist watches. This is how my mom's watch turned out.

Apologies if this is the wrong thread to ask this question: any feedback on the Garmin Instinct? I have a garmin 500 head unit, works like a dream. Just looking to get something for the odd run and possibly to be a backup when i find myself with a dead head unit. The solar version is selling for R7999, its kind of just within my price point. My Gshock is current, but it would be nice to have something a bit more geeky ????

Priceless!!

 

Well done on a stunning converrsion.

 

Tissot makes a range of beautiful pocket watches, but I can't find a practical way to carry/wear it, a jean pant pocket seems so wrong.  So sad since the design of a pocket watch absolutely appeals to me!!

A change is as good as a holiday...

20 years now on the wrist with the oyster bracelet, thought I would swap it out for some leather for a bit...still stunning and unbelievable that I own this...
