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.

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.
