Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[WRXtranceformed]

So after doing some research on the WUS forums, I took some time this afternoon to boil this beautiful strap to see if I could force the straightness out of it :lol:

Flat as a board:




I put it through a few rounds of boil bath / ice cooling cycles. First in a ramukan:



Then I curled it up in a 1/4 measuring cup (my wife assured me the plastic on this was fine in boiling water)




Much better!




Reinstalled:





It definitely gave this strap just enough give for it to be more comfortable and less rigid around my wrist, it feels like the rubber may have softened up just a bit too. Still has that vanilla smell! Might have to keep it around for a while. The Hydro 91 it came on is still a little more comfortable but I much prefer the styling of this one. Now that this feels good enough around my wrist, I may sell the H91 and still try to pick up a super jubilee (like this Strapcode one). I would really love to see what this watch looks like on a nice stainless bracelet!
