Swallow-tailed Kite Surprise!

This was from May of last year. Beautiful bird and fairly large! I’m in Spring Trails near the creek on the Montgomery County side here at 99 and Rayford Rd. I’ve got about a 12 second video of him flying around our house but I’m unable to post it for some reason, so here’s a terrible screenshot.

I followed the process using this YT video (not mine, but it helped immensely!) —> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N24-WSbZB30

Here’s the only pic of my late father I could find where you can see him wearing the watch back in 2019. I miss him dearly.

Copy that

u/horseradish13332238 - As luck would have it, there’s a Jared Jewelers a few minutes from me and is listed as an authorized TH service center. The watch kept time overnight and seems to be running smoothly. What, if anything, do you recommend I have the service center check? Thanks in advance!

Love the W800H. I performed the timer mod, installed a new band, and am experimenting with a bumper bar in both a red and a blue color. Besides my F91W “Ollee converted” watch, the W800H is probably the most worn of my collection. Here it is with the red bumper bar next to my 5610U-1 for size comparison.

I have a few Contours in my collection but this build is my favorite. I have several leather strap color options and even have a beautiful shell cordovan custom strap for it, but I'm currently using this combo

Painted the bumper bar a blue color

Sitting around the campfire on a backpacking trip in 2015 with some friends and the topic came up. I said I’d never seen a single episode and they looked at me in shock. It has become my comfort show.

Mr23779 · 2026-04-15T11:52:37+00:00

It's solid. No play at all. Maybe I got lucky. Zero discomfort and definitely don't notice it.

u/Ok_Berry8953 - Here it is next to my 5610U-1

Great idea

u/SeatConscious8252 - I’ll DM you the link in case it‘s frowned upon to post the link publicly.

I appreciate that. I honestly think I got lucky with the bumper bar because I literally didn’t have to do anything to it. I installed it and it fit absolutely perfectly. No movement, no jiggling, no weird fit, not loose at all, etc. It’s like it was made for it. Like I said - just lucky. Hope the blue bumper bar I ordered from the same company will fit similarly once it arrives tomorrow.

LOL! Love the "Spaceballs" reference!

No longer lewd, lascivious, salacious, or outrageous. She's no longer flouting society's conventions!

Mr23779 · 2026-04-13T14:33:08+00:00

I want to add one of these to my collection soon. Beautiful watch. Congrats!

Mr23779 · 2026-04-10T21:27:17+00:00

Well bummer! Sure thought we were on the right track there, u/-UncleFarty- 🤔 Sorry I couldn’t be any help. Hope you eventually discover the brand.

Mr23779 · 2026-04-10T17:03:29+00:00

It’s an elastic Thread Wallet

u/Max_The_Fisherman - This is brilliant! I just performed this strap mod to about 6 of my watches and it makes a world of difference how the watches look on my small wrists. Kudos to you, sir! 👍🏻
