The Watch Thread - Part 13

[Sarbmariner]

Spotted at Miniso. Even cheaper to play play

Good idea to buy and use the straps for rough wear

 

[Sarbmariner]

Yesterday I got caught in the heavy rain while wearing my Orient Flight with its leather strap. Idk how to describe this strap but it's just a generic raw(???) leather strap bought from Bencoolen, genuine leather but unfinished at the sides, thick and rugged.

So I got absolutely soaked in the rain while dashing across unsheltered pathway, and my watchstrap naturally got wet.

Watch is fine but the strap today, after I let it dry overnight in my air-con room with a portable fan blowing gently at it, is now shrunken.

It was a 22mm strap but now has become a 21mm whereby it slides left to right on the springbars, very irritating.

The only (possible) advantage of this is that I can now remove the strap easily with a small flathead spectacles screwdriver but I don't see how this actually is an advantage.

How do I get my leather strap to "grow" back to original size without using Tongkat Ali? :3

By stroking and tugging at it everyday, just like another certain tool?

Safe to use iron?

Heat and water 2 ways to kill leather... But if touch & go without heating up too much, just warm it up, perhaps worth a shot.

I even went to buy Mink Oil today in the hope that if the strap can be saved I will bua the oil to protect it from such occurrences in future...
