Leather Fob Watch

[Wayland]

For a variety of reasons I don't really like wearing a watch on my wrist.

I made something like this for clipping onto my belt some time ago and really liked it. Unfortunately it came off the clip I was using on that one and was lost.

This one is permanently attached to a much better clip, so hopefully that won't be a problem this time.

I thought some of you might like the idea.

Nice idea & well made. What does the back look like ? How do you access the battery / winder ?

 

[Wayland]

I knew someone would ask that...

 

[Perrari]

Sorry ! But I am naturally curious.

Nice bit of kit Gary. I used to have something similar from Wenger, but I lost it somewhere. It was there clipped to my belt loop one minute, and gone the next.

yup like it
might well copy the idea if you don't mind

Nice one, simple and much better than having a bulky wrist. im sure its more convenient when wearing many layers too

just right for the Viking nurse outfit

That's a nice fob watch Wayland. Very impressive. Personally I prefer wristwatches like this -

... but I've been thinking about how to carry a glass magnifying lens without a handle and your fob idea would be just the ticket.

 

[Wayland]

Like this?

 

[chutes]

Exactly. You must be a mind-reader

 

[Dannytsg]

I like that very much

i have been wanting to do this for some time, as i don't wear a watch because i dont like the straps they come with, i was given quite an expensive watch by my dad, and was going to make some normal leather watch straps for it, but i think i will go down this route when i have the time.
great work gary.

quick question is it just a standard watch without straps or a nurses watch? (still trying to get that image of a viking nurse out my head)

It's a Tracer P5900 Type 3

I bought it when I lost the other one because I thought it looked a good shape for this job.
