Outstanding!dnslater wrote:I inherited my Grandfather's watch that he wore as a paratrooper in WWII stationed in the South Pacific theater. I have this photo of him rocking it on a bund strap. The watch is tiny by today's standards but I placed it on a bund strap in his honor after having it cleaned and serviced a few years ago. It mostly sits in the safe, but the bund strap does help add a little size to the small case. I figure if a bund was good enough for the greatest generation, it is good enough for me.
BTW he is 17 in this photo.... lied about his age when he joined the service.

The strap itself is nice, but never a fan of Bunds.

That IWC Style Pilot Strap might be the best looking (IMO) combo I’ve seen with the Bigeye—anyone know where it’s from (assuming it’s not IWC)?

It's a RIOS 1931 strap:
