RE: Watches - denali7432 - 10-17-2010
shopnbc is also considered the devil site if ur a watch collector..especially a invicta man
RE: Watches - Soulend - 10-17-2010
I definately see what you mean, Tony. Now I want to buy more!
RE: Watches - denali7432 - 10-17-2010
i think for xmas im goin to treat myself to a invicta venom reserve..
RE: Watches - Djaric - 10-17-2010
I've been eyeing the venom. And the Sub Aqua specialty.
But I have enough 'treats' until spring when my hours go back up unless I get a new job. :/
RE: Watches - Soulend - 10-17-2010
The Venom is sweet. Here's an odd request that maybe nobody will be able to help with. A long time ago one could buy leather straps that had a leather cover over the face of the watch to protect against damage. The cover was usually molded to fit the watch and held in place with a snap. Kind of like the Cordura 'Commando' watch bands but of formed leather - they were reasonably common in the 40's and before. Does anybody know if any such straps are available anywhere today? I would really like to replace my rubber diver's strap with something like this.

I was actually looking on ebay for a new strap for one of my watches and saw some of those while searching. I don't have a link but with a little bit of searching I'm sure you'll easily find them on there.

I've seen some of those, but not leather, i dont think they have leather anyway. Let me look for the link.
RE: Watches - Djaric - 10-17-2010
this isn't what I was looking for, but is this similar to what you had in mind Soulend?
