[leon-b]

spamel have you recieved my match case yet, have you sent the watch strap
leon

 

[spamel]

Yes Leon, it arrived today! I didn't know quite what it was when it turned up, but it became obvious once I had opened it. I still need to put some matches in as I had a quick sleep earlier on!!

 

[leon-b]

glad it arrived safely
have you sent my watch strap ?
leon

 

[spamel]

Has it not arrived yet? Give it a few more days, it should get to you by then, if not I'll scrounge another from the SQMS. They'll probably both come through on the same day!!!!!

 

[leon-b]

i will say when it arrives, i have been getting on ok with the leather one but it a tiny bit big for my wrist even on the smallest one
leon

 

[spamel]

Yup, I found the strap to be a bitt too big for my wrists too.

 

[leon-b]

will the nato strap go smaller ?
can i take the leather strap off and put the nato one on and then another day put the leather one on or do i have to cut the leather one off ?

my dad was driving today and he saw a dead deer in the field next to him, i asked him a few questions and it sounded like a red deer, he said that he was going to cut the antlers off but he didnt know if it was legal
would this have been legal ?

[scottishwolf]

No, it would'nt be legal leon. The deer belongs to whoevers land it is on, dead or not. Although i'm sure if you went and asked the farmer or landowner politley, they may allow you to take them.

 

[leon-b]

ok i was just wondering, thanks

I changed my strap with a small screwdriver. The pins that hold the strap on spring outwards into holes in the watch, so you just push the end in with the screwdriver and slide the pin out of the watch. You can change the straps back if you want, but it is a bit of a faff about. It took about 5 minutes to change the strap. You put the pins back into the watch after you take them out of the leather strap, then you just thread the NATO strap through the pins and loop it through the metal loop. I can post pics if you need a demo.

As for the deer, not too sure how you would stand legally as it may be on private land and be owned by that land owner.

 

[spamel]

No, it would'nt be legal leon. The deer belongs to whoevers land it is on, dead or not. Although i'm sure if you went and asked the farmer or landowner politley, they may allow you to take them.

I must learn to type quicker!!
