Can you guess which?

Two of the others have been subjected to a new Uncle Seiko bracelet fitting and the fourth is today's watch.

Thank you Guy!

Given the small bag with the bracelet link, I assume the omega is a new arrival.

Do you refer, sirrah, to the recent EBay sale sans lume pip, or to my private transaction with a gentleman of this parish?

Think again oh great JAFO.

The oe Flightmaster bracelet is away with Mr Freese for a minor fettle and in the meantime the watch has been sitting on the grey Sandra Visser rally strap.
I picked up the razor wire bracelet in Uncle Seiko's black friday sale; it's a 20mm bracelet so it's a matter of mating it with something suitable. https://unclestraps.com/collections/20m ... et-20-22mm
The Flighty is too heavy for it so that's a no. The Seamaster has an oe bracelet but normally lives on a matching dark blue leather zulu from yellowdog. The two will stay together for a few days before I offer it up to another watch: in truth I have only a few 20mm lug watches.

In shortening the razor wire I have discovered that each link (split pins) holds eight oval rings which have to be nudged into alignment and held there by the split pin: I have given up all thoughts of a second career as a maker of chain mail.

The Anthropocene is today's watch of choice and so the C60 Scooter is today's new arrival.

Maybe you can source some Mithril for your next chain mail endeavour.

If you venture into Khazad-Dûm, beware Durin’s Bane.

Having bid on the "no lume pip" variant I thought I could probably do better so launched a WTB and was answered almost before the ink had dried.
