Thanks Jeff...I'm liking the combo quite a bit...first thing i did after receiving the MarineMaster rubber was throw it in a coffee cup and pour in boiling water, the end result was a nicely curved and comfy combo.
I read that from Steve's post sometime back about the hot water. If ever you store your rubber straps, coat them with some talcum powder. They'll last longer. Nice strap. I should really get some soonwoohoo.gif

Regarding the talcum powder, back in the day I did quite a bit of diving in the Great Lakes.  Had to wear a wet suit.  This was during the seventies and eighties.  Word was then, to avoid using scented talcum power on your wet suit because the perfume damaged the rubber.  Unscented was fine.

FWIW

Thanks, Jeff. It is actually 34X14. It doesn't tick but hums a perfect F note from it's tuning fork driver. The Accutrons were some of the first electric watches on the market when they were introduced in 1960.  I did replace the crystal with a NOS acrylic one.
