happy waiting.

anyway, i see you willing to try some DIY on your watches.....a little step @ a time. very soon, you will be stripping movement out of the watch.

[Oceanklassik]

That, I am unlikely gonna try .. no guts; no tools; no skills; no money (in case fail no money to buy/repair).

Update

I wonder if this is pure coincidence. I've waited many weeks for the strap and it somehow did not seem to come. Just when I created a thread to describe it, it just popped right in my face



I was excited, happy of course. But with a little worry - worry that it is not exactly what I've wanted .. (as you may know, buying an item from the Internet w/o being able to see, touch & feel the item first can be a little 'risky'). But ..



.. it was a relief.

[Oceanklassik]

No tools

This time, I did not use any watch tool to 'dress up' the strap on the watch. Merely some 'protective' tapes and a bit of help with my fingernails ..







.. TA-DAR .. !!

[Oceanklassik]

Is this therapy?

I was having a bad headache yesterday and having no mood for much but when the strap came, the pain in my head seemed to dissipate slowly. The headache was completely off when I mounted the watch on my wrist and I couldn't believe it!

[Oceanklassik]

I actually slept last night

And as if this is some kind of 'painkiller', 'stress reliever', or even somewhat a 'tranquilizer', I slept almost immediately and soundly last night with this in my mind ..



.. the end ..

The measurements of the strap, tone of the (brown) color and leather finish were the concerns when I was placing my order. I have wanted to try out a brown leather strap on this watch for a long time but was worried about the hassle and all. I wasn't also willing to spend few hundreds of dollars on a strap. I was pleasantly surprised that although this wasn't EXACTLY the color I have wanted, it turned out fine.
