: Well, having spent a couple of hours searching through my watch
: stuff, I came across all sorts of old catalogues and boxes as
: well as a few old tropics and a couple of corfam straps. These
: had been taken off my watches when they were bought in the mid
: 80s. No one was buying mechanical watches back then and the
: corfam imitation leather straps were no longer popular. So off
: they went, unworn, in favour of metal bracelets. Fortunately,
: the corfam for my Derek Bell was still labelled with the date
: and place of purchase (Nov 85 in Antwerps) - so on it went! Now
: it truly is as it was when it came out of the box! I like that.

: Now I just need to identify which watch to put my big hole corfam
: on!

: Roger
