Sorry for the less than technical title!

I'm after a leather Bund for my sub but one with the leather cover over the entire face of the watch.

Anybody know a good place on 'tinternet?

I would do a google search but, as you can clearly see from the title of this thread, I don't know what to search for!

Hellooooo.....!

Little help here...?!?

Hellooooooo..... Mark
Can you heeeeear me???

hold ya horsies... 27 min and no reply, and you're already bouncing off the keyboard

OK, I presume you mean one of these???

Quick story, when I was a young kid (about 9 years old) there was a little old lady bootmaker next door to my dads shop. My twin brother and I used to hang out sometimes after school, and she would whip these up for us! Of course, I didn't have a watch to put it on, but we tyhought we were sooooo coooool

I can see why... That thing is über-cool!

My bootmaker is 300 miles away and I don't think he makes watch straps!

oops. Clarification. Pic pilfered from the interweb thingy.

Mine was lost many many decades ago

I'm sure I have a link to a website that has them for sale... I think saved to my laptop (it's at home). I'll try and remember to look it up tonight...

Here's another (nicely made, but not as nice style in my opinion) found on interweb thing

You have shattered my illusion! If you hadn't said it was a lady bookmaker I'd have thought that "R.M." himself had whipped one up for you!

ha ha. It was an old Greek lady. Her husband has passed away many years ago, she had triplets(!!!) and they lived above the shop. She raised them all single-handed. She was at the sewing machine day and night, stitching away...

Cheers John, hope you can find that link.
As you say, the second one is very nicely made but what I'm after is defiantly the first one you posted.

I think that countycomm.com used to have some. Check them.

Looks an interesting site... My iPads having a fit at all the pics but I'll have a good look on the computer at home. Cheers!
