    Ya have a spare strap just laying around?

    I opened a drawer to find something and noticed I had a few straps running loose. So I bagged them. This is half!!

    Straps annoy me. Watches come and go, but the strap experiments remain. I have a purposely small box for straps, and when I’m struggling to close the lid I throw a few away.

    I can’t remember what half of them were ever for, and if I’m looking for one to fit a new watch, there’s rarely one that will do the job. So I buy a couple more.

    Straps seem to represent the disorganised part of my life. Don’t like it.

    Real life good pics. from suppliers would help no end, very few match when the strap drops on the doormat , accounts for a far few sorry to say .
    Again, a reason to get something to match

    So does this mean I shouldn't send you that pile of NATOs someone gave me?
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.
