Thread: Wrist Watches

It's beautiful. I would never have thought of turning a strop into a band. You've done an excellent job on it by the looks of things. And I must say I'm not usualy a fan of skeleton watches but I do like this one.

No watch lasts forever. I have the same watch. However, mine is Titanium and the band is also. I could never wear it because it's way too big almost 60mm. I bought it as a collectible because I liked the mvmt.

Very good for a first effort! I may have to watch out for another competitor soon!

You are right, "no watch lasts forever". My Omega seamaster was bought in 1989, since that time only battery change and two cleaning.

Of course no watch is designed to last forever.

I have a Seiko Quartz my wife gave me for a present in 1976 and other than battery changes works as good as it did when I first got it. I also have a pocket watch from the late 1700s which used to run when I got it but doesn't anymore. I guess the parts wear to point and then that's it.
