Guys I did it!!

My Seamaster is my favorite watch to wear, it has sentimental value that none of my other watches have. I wear it often and that has taken its toll on the original bracelet. I've always been a fan of leather straps because they feel light weight and fit on the wrist nicely! So I bought a leather strap and took the plunge! I've never "worked" on a watch before, so i did a few mins of research and YouTube video watching and decided it was easy enough! Gathered my tools and went for it! I think it turned out great! It feels like a new watch!

Sea Ray skin, now that's a new material I've never heard of! I will try it when I get bored of this one!

Thank you! I love the way the watch looks with the patina, I was actually reading that the patina dials are harder to find!
