Nice litte piece, is that a cork strap? How does it hold up?
I've only had the strap for about 2 months. I had to replace the buckle a couple of weeks ago. But the strap itself is doing okay. Not bad considering I only payed €9 at a gypsy market.
Again another beautiful strap! Where do you find them?
Funny story. We were travelling through Portugal and we saw cork belts for sale everywhere (Portugal is a huge producer of cork) and I thought it would be great to have a cork strap. Try as I did, I couldn't find one anywhere.
About a month later, we were wandering around a gypsy market in Spain, when Mr's Y noticed a stall selling cheap watches with wooden cases and cork straps.
We asked if he sold the straps separately and before we knew it he had whisked a strap off one of his watches and said €15. My wife being my wife proceeded to haggle him down to €9.. and it suited the Weekender perfectly 🤓

The trusty Timex is a good sidekick for whatever adventure comes your way today John!
Thanks, Tony. I'm not sure this is the adventure I was hoping for today. But so far so good.. we're still ticking 👍🏻
Pop that cork and celebrate! I love it! 🍸💥😎
Absolutely nothing like a clean white dial John! Simistic beauty! Tried & True Timex 🔥!
Your Timex looks great on that cork strap John. Have a calm evening and be safe.

Quartz is underrated. I too lately have been thinking and enjoying a quartz movement.

Nice piece ❤️
Simplistic beauty, John. That cork just looks like it should have standard issue, it works so well.
Glad to see it back on the cork, John. Your photos never disappoint. 👌
