Customers Watches
I made this page in March 2008 to show off some customers' watches on their new straps. If you have a picture of a watch on one of my straps that you would like to see on this page, then please email it to me at You don't need to copy the email address, just click on it. I look forward to hearing from you!

| Hi David, As you can see, the strap really sets the watch off, as indeed it does with the others you have sold me. All best wishes, Jim |

| Hi David, Please find attached photographs showing my watch and it's new strap. This is a Silver Swiss Made Pin Set Wristwatch bought by my Grandfather in 1915, recently repaired and serviced by Ray Brown FBHI of "Time Repair Services". It was given to me 4 years ago by my father. It came to me with an ugly replacement winding crown, the "glass" had yellowed and it had been fitted with a narrow ladies style wrist strap. It would only run for a few minutes. I sent it for repair to a business in London, where it languished for a few years while they attempted to locate replacement parts. During that time I discovered Time Repair services on the Isle of Wight. Ray Brown did a superb job on the watch, making new parts as required and giving it a new lease of life with a 12 month guarantee! He specialises in the repair of the finest timepieces, old and new and provides a service difficult to find nowadays. This is the second watch he's repaired for me ( the other being a very nice 1926 Silver Cushion shaped Zenith - with wire lugs), and so I can recommend him. The wire lugs on that watch take a strap of 20mm width so at present a conventional strap works very well. Your straps are easily the best I've ever seen for this style of watch and as I'll only be wearing the watch on special occasions - high days and holidays, it should last for many years. Kindest regards, Stewart Baillie. |

| Hi David, please find some pics attached - the new strap is a fraction short, but will be fine. As the watch is something slightly different due to the shrapnel guard, I was after a different strap compared to the one on the gold Elgin which is my day-to-day watch - I don't wear the other one that often due to the near-perfect lume which I think makes it a bit "hot", and it was just a pain swapping the strap over between the two watches on the times I wanted to use the other one. Regards, Steve. |
