That strap turned out much nicer than I imagined. Have ordered a few more colours.

Hope the weather improves in the mountains
I can now see the tropical/brown on the subdials in that sunlight, BTW. Very nice indeed! Couldn't really catch it in the other pics, but now: 'Behold the Belgian Chocolate!'

Yes, looking forward to seeing the sun again soon

No way - Love seeing it. Your 1665 is a beauty.

I post the same few over and over again as well.
This thread is therapy for that very affliction - hence the title and 'rationale' behind it!

Some of us have to get good mileage out of them when we only have a few, or just one - nothing wrong with that!

Having said that, there's something coming in here very soon though!

As Prince sang a long time ago; 'Sometimes it snows in April' (love that song/album)

That was a beauty as well but this is another level. Tell me if you ever get tired of that panda and I will hook you up with the big red virus again. ;)

Good to see you post here, Paul - you've got some catching up to do, clearly.
Well done on the restoration - looks ace now.

Wait a minute… is that an edge of paint I see curling up near the 8-plot?!

AAAARRRRRRHHHHHGGGG!! Nightmare is over, man!
