In Response To: Re: My Speedy ()

: That's me. One watch.

That used to be me too once upon a time. Now, I've got a dozen or so wristwatches and four pocket watches.

: I agree. It's a bit flashy with those. The
: all-satin look is closer to the period
: originals.

I took my Scotch Brite green pad today and gave the bracelet a light buffing and it is an ENORMOUS improvement to my eye. Now, the bracelet looks *right*.

: Does that run down the power reserve faster?

From what I've read here and TZ, yes but not by much. I don't care, I like to see all the dials working. On my Seiko chrono, however, I leave the chrono functions off as it's a battery operated watch.
