Your Best Curmudgeon Watch
This post goes out to Dr. Robert and my fellow curmudgeons. I was removing a Nato from my GMT and pushing the pins out through my lug holes (oh my!) and installing an old (not really) crusty strap on my 1675, when I realized "I think I have the perfect curmudgeon watch". The crackly strap and the faded insert are hard to beat. See if you can top it.

Al, that makes you a true Curmudgeon. My wife calls me a curmudgeon all the time. I don't think it has anything to do with watches

Curmudgeon is a term of endearment........p.s. I still think lug holes look good on a SS oyster cased watch.

Agree with the 1675 and its faded bezel, matte dial, cyclops, rattly bracelet...if that doesn't say curmudgeon, I don't know what does.
