Very Cool stuff! Is there somewhere those original stitched type canvas straps can still be found new? Really like that Waltham. :thumbsup:

Here is a site that does sell original straps not those remake's.The one strap on the waltham came out of a Hamilton repair kit and that source dried up.I know it's for a Hamilton but the color's match the dial.
