    yes it is experimental.. yes it look 'strange'.. yes, it is unusual..
    why? i dont know.. either i'm a tasteless cheapskate or just want to save this leather from being trashed..

    in my defend, my Timex chrono from Chris need a strap and i like the 'one of a kind' look of the combo..

    yup, the stitches hole was there, i just put some stitches on the left over holes.. didn;t know what i'm thinking.. either left it just holes or put thread on them..

    That's a beautiful watch, Skywatch.

    At least you seem to realize what so many voters don't nowadays. All democracy guarantees you is a choice, not a good one. Also that even when there is no good choice it is still your duty to exercise that choice.

    Hi Jane... is it new in your collection?
    what is the size of this Timex? is it the women's model?

    gotta love indiglo right!

    Yes. And it's actually more real for me than most--part of my job includes government relations, so I am in Washington at least once a year meeting with politicians and their staffers. I have not personally met or had to deal with any of the current presidential candidates on either side of the aisle, for which I am eternally grateful...

    Thanks, Jane! I'm guessing the original owner very rarely wore it, as it looked almost new.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.
