I bought this Christopher Ward - London when they had them on clearance. Just a nice quality simple watch.

Nice watch Dan!

I was thinking about picking one of these up if I get a bonus this year, highly doubt I will get said bonus though.
Love these and the Helson Shark Diver bronze watch.

Shane, I know a guy that could make a sweet band that would look great on that Ancon.

Do you make straps? If so, great job. Timeless example on that PAM.

I do, thank you Ryan.
Here are a couple more of my Horween straps on some beautiful his/her PAMs:

Love Horween. You should be proud of your craftsmanship. When I was full tilt in my watch collecting I was equally addicted to straps. I have desperately tried to find another version of this leather NATO i purchased for my MM300. The leather was so worn that it changed colors under certain light, positions and oh so soft. I should have never sold it, but I don't own any 20mm watches anymore.

Nice looking there. People seem to love horween leathers.

I have been professionally making custom watch straps for over 6 years now. It is quite the hobby.

I have this Deep Blue Daynight Ops 30 diver en route

I was looking at getting the Movado sapphire with the black face and silver band. Not sure yet though

Veatorious · 10-24-2013, 03:55 PM

Hobby #62 was watches for me, enjoyed that expensive, yet oh so gratifying hobby until I purchased one of my grails. So for me it is down to three, my daily wearer Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean XL, Benarus Raven Vintage, and my beater modded Seiko SKX007. In due time I will flip these and maybe go back to a DOXA, Korsbek, and probably another Seiko MarineMaster 300.

Ryan you seem to be a WIS like myself

...Cigars have pretty much knocked my watch hobby down.

Mike, I am a WIS. Same here with the cigars, along with other hobbies. Not enough funds to chase the watches I already released. Once I get this cigar hobby flowing in the right direction, watches will return.

EDIT: For some reason, my picture is HUGE. I'm not sure why.

It's a Sea-Gull homage. I don't really love the idea of homages, but for whatever reason, these have become fairly respected in the watch community. It has a seagull st-25 movement and a beautiful open heart movement. I really do love it.
You can see it bigger here too: http://i.imgur.com/WKdjEQV.jpg
