Very nice indeed! Deserves a Swiss movement imo. SW-300 would be a dream....

Nice article about the Sinn 815:

Bronze for top ring and crown please! And blued hands for the light colored dial please.

Eddie‘s Air Ministry on homemade NATO strap. An old handbag and one of Eddie‘s superb updated straps with improved hardware were butchered for this. The hardware was given a brushed scotchbrite...

Tasty little watch. Case and fire blued hands are a work of art.

Lumed sapphire, with a decent thickness and slightly recessed into the bezel would be a nice option. Although black or blue ceramic would look nice too...

Both pictures show the identical change on the watch...it’s not before and after.

Let’s say owners of this specific watch are more likely to spot the difference...

Nice try, but no. Sapphire as it should be. The etched bottom of the crystal seems to ensure a better fit in the gasket. The crystal is fully seated though...

So what’s different?

Here you go!!

Thanks again!

The Nato pictured above is in fact light olive in colour. It is not khaki or sand but more of a vintage faded olive that doesn’t have that much green in it.

Sorry to disappoint...

Here is a simple wet shaped knife case I made a couple of weeks ago using 3.5mm veg tanned harness leather. It uses proper...

Thanks everybody,

I am truly pleased that so many of you like the combination of watch and strap. Part of magic of that specific strap is probably to be found in the fact that the leather is...

Some more.

The strap uses minimal but true needle and awl saddle stitching in olive drab. Hardware was thoroughly brushed for an even satin finish

Oh, for the hardware I had to butcher one of Eddie‘s formidable straps....

The second keeper is not fully sewn in but can be adjusted like on a standard two piece leather strap. The edge trim was done with a bone. In order to reduce dimensional change the leather was...

Here‘s another one.

I can see it just fine...

Evening all!

Made this the other day. Leather is veg tanned cowhide from an old bag which is firm enough for a strap but also thin enough to use standard hardware.

The watch will be fitted with the display back...I don't seem to recall a free case opener supplied with the watch. So it will be a trip to the watchmaker or you'll just buy a good case opener which...

Hoy-er is totally correct!

Lange und Söhne should be pronounced sort of like " Lung-e oond zone-e" (without the German Umlaut Ö which sounds a bit different)

Oh BTW:

Stowa : Shtova

Teeth whitening sounds jolly good to me...but only if you can do it in Luminova C1 (bright white). The afterglow gives you an irresistible smile, especially if you go clubbing.

I strongly insist...
