Just a bit of fun on a winter afternoon…. Recently pulled the trigger on a tropic strap to try on a few watches and this i…
Continue readingQuick Fishbone bracelet (Bullhead watches) question
Hi y’all. Can someone please let me know if Fishbone bracelets (vintage or repop) use fairly standard split pins? I need to remove 1 or 2 links from one. I note there are no directional arrows on the links, and there is a “flush” side and an “indented” side to each pin. I assume I need a remover tool to push them out from the indented side?

Would you open up the watch to clear up this speck of dust?

No sir, your smoke alarms are not working…
Today I was inspecting a house for the C of O, Certificate of Occupancy. I grabbed the small step ladder and reached up to push the button to activate the smoke alarms. While reaching, my arm stretches beyond my cuff and I get a great shot of my Seiko 5. This has been a great watch, I did have it regulated after a year, and it keeps great time. It’s has seen, mud, snow, heat and has been submerged multible times. No complaints ! I have been looking at the Baby Alpinist, in green, but i’m…
