I came home from work to find some packages waiting for me which were duly opened while having a cuppa.

A spring bar remover, some decent jeweller's screwdrivers, and a Geckota Bond NATO Strap.
I've never changed a strap before and discovered that it was surprisingly easy. With the right tools that is :)

My new watch wallet, shown here with a brace of Fortis Cosmonuats.
I was able to remove a link from the Chronograph's strap as well as it was way too loose. Now it sits much more nicely on my wrist. The Bergeon screwdrivers are a quantum leap ahead of the el-cheapo screwdrivers I bought from Maplins (I think).

Watch wallet showing personalisation. This is a really nice touch and adds nothing to the price.

Finally, the Fortis Cosmonaut on my wrist. I'm really pleased with the look and the strap is very comfortable.
