Re: CWL of the day
Going out for lunch later, so I need something a bit smarter than my current single-pass style strap… D2CFB5C1-13C7-481F-B67D-912C407A0385.jpeg 8A41E19B-AC37-47B8-835F-29C2DB8A5101.jpeg Dartmouth on a handmade, Italian Pueblo leather strap.

Re: A one watch purchase
Hello, Dom. I recently challenged myself to see if I could get by with just the one watch. This was roughly two months ago. My watch of choice was a Dartmouth (Series 1 in black) model, from the same military family and sporting the same movement as the Sandhurst you are thinking of. I had several c...

Re: CWL of the day
Same watch, slightly different strap… 0BD05927-5C64-47EE-930B-AA6F36E71676.jpeg I remade this single-pass last night, this time with a slightly shorter under-pass section. I think my original had stretched a bit and this modified geometry makes the watch feel more secure on my wrist again. Keep well...

Re: CWL of the day
Fresh off the workbench, one of my custom single-pass leather straps for my Dartmouth.
This one has chestnut Lyveden leather for its upper and will patina beautifully.
Keep well,

Re: Just One Watch - Can I survive?
So. One full month in, and this has still been my only watch. I do confess that I have occasionally done a “ Schwarzkopf” and worn my Garmin Fenix on my other wrist, but this has only been when I have been specifically tracking a bike ride or a run. My darling Dartmouth has been my only time keeper....

The latest two days of one-watch-testing… 844A5B6B-945F-46C5-8CBB-5F52E69922BF.jpeg The Dartmouth was with me for the weekend while I was biking and camping. I wore it with this single-pass nylon strap rather than my favoured leather options. It dealt perfectly with the jolts and bumps of cycling, a...

Re: CWL of the day
Dartmouth back on its bracelet
I recently ordered a half link for it so thought I might as well get a comfortable size and fit. Works well.

Re: CWL of the day
Yep, still wearing it :-) 65432EF2-811C-450E-9D85-A236E03C50D0.jpeg C65 Dartmouth. I sewed up a new strap for her the other day. It’s my favourite, Lyveden veg tan leather for the upper, but this sample piece I ordered was 2.5mm thick rather than the 1.5mm - 1.7mm that I usually use. So, this time, ...
