That’s a winning combo! Enjoy the strap and the bracelet.

Since neither of these worked out as entries for the $35 Field Watch Challenge, going to offer them up here in PIF for anyone who wants either or both.

I paid less than $35 for each of these, and doesn't seem worth my time or effort to try to resell them.
SO I'M GIVING THEM AWAY!!!!!
Not required, but if anyone feels inclined to send me something for shipping, I'm happy to oblige.

Challenge Reject #1

Tip Top trench style watch by The New Haven Clock Company.
Condition: NOT WORKING. The main spring is broken.
Movement: Unable to identity.
Comes with: Just the watch head only.
Specs:
36mm diameter
41mm lug to lug
14mm lug width
14mm thick

Challenge Reject #2

Services A11 style watch, Services was a brand out of England.
Condition: WORKING. Keeping decent time.
Movement: Appears to be the UMF 24-32
Comes with: a woman's mesh bracelet.
Specs:
27mm diameter
35mm lug to lug
12mm lug width
11mm thick

Big thanks to Thejohnp I picked up a few nonworking Services watches and use the movement that was functioning in from his pay it forward watch to a different case.

I might still use the black dial in the new case.

I got lucky the acrylic dial had angled edges not straight so I didn't need to pick-up a crystal lift, the new case the movement comes out the front and the crystal had to go in and out a few times.

Now I need a trench watch strap and will see how it looks on the wrist the hour hand is a little loose so I need to pop it back out and reset the hour hand.

PIF ITEM HOT HOT HOT

LABOR DAY WEEKEND SPECIAL



For those Rubber Ducky lovers.



Pretty darn nice unbranded 22mm Ruber strap with very nice quality hardware. Came along with my Alpina Hybrid watch via a trade. It is not an Alpina strap, but it is not cheap either. If it wasn't because I hate how sticks when I sweat, I would keep it, but it has been stored for a year. so here it goes.



FIFO rules in effect. CONUS shipping included via Burro Express

I'll take it!

CLAIMED!

I'm away this weekend and don't have actual photos, but in return I'd like to pay it forward with a 20mm 316L Jubilee stainless steel solid bliger bracelet. Bought it off the Bay and I think it's too big for my wrist. Can't seem to size it down properly. So if you have bigger than a 6.5ish inch wrist, I think it should work for you!
Never worn and only attempted to resize. Stock pics from the bay but I can get you actual pics on Monday.

Cool Beans and Hot Chocolate!

PM me your addy when you get a chance. I'll expect to see some pretty NYC shots with the proper combo! I think you'll like it a lot.

I'd be interested in the watch. I have been interested in trying a 36mm watch recently.

Wolfsatz can vouch I'm not too awful. I'm more active on WUS, same username.

CLAIMED on WUS!

Orient Kamasu Clasp
Should fit any OEM Orient 20mm wide (at clasp) bracelet. Purchased from Orient usa, intended for my Mako 2, but the clasp is to long for my small wrist.

In the spirit of PIF, I’ll cover shipping within CONUS. (Can discuss options for outside of CONUS)

Is that an Orient Tri Star at 37mm and 19mm lug width?

Not my style, but it looks nice.

Not sure what it is with companies and odd numbered measurements.
