Given me esteem for the Kubrick masterpiece, and the fact that the name fits..
Well.. I'll  ..a stiff drink o' milk to ye, sir! But y'all carry on. It's possible someone might top Bro. Harold. But I doubt it.  FWIW, I'm partial to names that have either "Tom Swift" and/or "Caveman" in the title. -Ricky |

It's a domed crystal, too, so I
supported the watch on one of my press dies. Got out the two essential
tools for cyclops removal, my Weller soldering gun and 'fat' X-acto with
chisel-tipped blade and... popped the crystal right out of the case.
  Once the crystal was out of the case, no need to be gentle. So I went MCV-Cycops-Removal-Berserk on it. It couldn't resist my butane Zippo, which is halfway to a blowtorch, and it popped right off. Thanks for the inspiration, Marc! Oh, and not to worry.. the black residue came right off. -Ricky |

Still, these photos do at least illustrate the combo I'm using..
Brothers.
What can I say? 
This poor panny homage needed the Waterbourne, whilst the Alpha is perfectly happy with the recently acquired Standard Combat NATO in gray (no photos of that combo yet {sigh}).
This was borne out by the number of comments I got at work - no less
than four yesterday, and two more today. The comments yesterday may have
owed a little to the fact that I wore it in conjunction with the Mega Militare,
I admit. Indeed, one young lady specifically mentioned my "matching"
watches. Mind you, the lass is quite familiar with my penchant for
Dual-Wristin', and the comment was not about that, but the fact that the two were Aesthetically Compatible. Hey, if you're gonna Go Stereo, go Hole Hog I say. (And, in case ye're keeping track, Dear Constant Reader, that was the first time I didn't wear the Trintec ZULU-01 to work in more than a month. ), couldn't be bothered with choosing a second watch ), and one of the conversations included a semi-serious offer to buy it. And "semi" mostly because I responded with a stratospheric price designed to discourage that line of discussion. Had I given the bloke a reasonable price (oh, say a mere 300% of what I've actually got in it ), I reckon dude just might have gone for it. Anyway, this is threatening to turn into a full-fledged Honeymoon 
, and that doesn't happen with every Frankenwatch I cobble together, I assure you.

There has to be a watch that's a perfect match for the Jstrap. So.
Better?

Right. A bit like Alice down the rabbit-hole, eh?
I've done this conversion enough (3 or 4 times.. I'm losing count! ) that I'm starting to think of it as something of a trademark.
 mate. That Seiko-Epson VX9J is a bit more interesting to look at than a.. Not that it's stopped me from pressing a PC21 into that duty when the spirit moves me! -Ricky |
