NixM Posted March 27, 2021 Share 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.

NixM Posted March 30, 2021 Share 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. Edited March 30, 2021 by NixM the nerd, Danger Dassie, Rob Mortimer and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemmerbal Posted March 30, 2021 Share 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 ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!! NixM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
