That strap's cool, way cool, TonyThumbsUp02.gif Is that really from a basketball? Leather? I like it. Might be perfect for an FM....

Yup it is..Europelli is closing them out at $19.95 and worth every penny. 24/22mm and the underside is lined for a comfy fit. They also have a football version which is a more brownish color.

hey guys....if everyone could please keep your pics at 800x600 it would be greatly appreciated as not all members use high speed internet or larger monitors and the larger pics cause problems in loading time and may also freeze their computers...thankyou.gif

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 was about to ask that about the football, which I think is made of pigskin....seriously, pigskin. I've been looking around for a really nice vintage Wilson glove or Rawlings. No luck. I'll hit Europelli now. Thanks.ThumbsUp02.gif

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.

Thanks for the input about the perfume. Makes lots of sense. I used to do some snorkeling back in the day and none of us paid any attention to the perfume but your tip is great. Thanks.

Also, if I may add, I keep  my leather and nato/zulu straps in a plastic airtight box and throw in lots of photographer-grade silica gel to avoid moisture and preserve them all. woohoo.gif
