Re: Strap of the Day

A recent swap for my Dartmouth from its metal bracelet to an experimental single-pass leather option.

The bracelet works best for smarter occasions; leather for more casual.
Keep on keeping well,

Re: CWL of the day

Back home, and the Dartmouth (Day71) has gone back on leather. This time, a light tan coloured single-pass. IMG_2133.jpeg Slightly stiffer than I’d like right now, but wearing it slightly loose allows it to wear comfortably while still letting it keep the watch head perfectly centred on the wrist. G...

Re: CWL of the day

My Dartmouth has gone back on its bracelet - I’m going away at the weekend and need something smart.

Of course, I’ll take a couple of my own leather straps for less formal occasions.

Re: Just One Watch - Can I survive?

Day 63 (I intended to post this at 60 days in, but I was tied up cycling and camping in the back of beyond and with no reliable mobile signal). I still love the watch, nothing has changed there. I love its versatility most of all; the fact that it can be dressed up for smarter times, but easily cope...

Re: CWL of the day

Another weekend of cycling and camping with my Dartmouth… C797CE84-E83A-4E02-B4A0-0004ACC90DD5.jpeg As you can probably tell from the gloves and thick cycle jersey, the weather was not great, but the Dartmouth performed well. This time, on a nylon NATO to withstand the inclement weather. Keep well, C

Re: CWL of the day

Another Dartmouth…
56E2BE21-95DF-49D9-80EA-87CABE020A5A.jpeg
Today, I am trying it on another single-pass I made up. This one is a matte olive green and, from experience, this Lyveden leather develops patina like nothing else. Can’t wait!
Keep well,

Re: Strap of the Day

A quick strap change for the Dartmouth toady - started on my olive green, single-pass leather strap for my bike ride, then swapped to this vintage style, cross stitched offering. EA68B736-AFA5-4750-8D11-F1DC2DCA65D8.jpeg Such a versatile watch, looks great on pretty much anything I chuck at it. Keep...

Re: CWL of the day

Dartmouth again for me today. Started off on a single-pass strap for my cycle ride but now on this cross stitched vintage leather one.

Watch is holding up extremely well, I just wish the dam weather could decide what to do!

Dartmouth again for me, Day 52 I think. 831C0DC3-3940-4A0D-8E18-F9CEA37A7FA0.jpeg Another day on the bike for me today, so a NATO/single-pass strap was called for; more security for the watch as I bump my way through the local forest trails. This one is olive coloured, Buttero leather with cream sti...

Re: Strap of the Day

A bit of variation for my Dartmouth today 85DE23C6-2D93-4F24-AB7D-BB7FD4A69F6E.jpeg Handmade, Italian Pueblo leather strap in light tan colour and cream stitching. The leather has this unique, sanded finish to its upper surface and develops patina very quickly. It’s not my favourite leather to work ...
