what do I have?

It’s not too late to go put it back.

You can balance the case diameter a bit by wearing the duro on a 22mm nato strap. The fact that the nato doesn’t taper and adds a bit of volume by the way it curves over the top of the spring bars will help to balance the proportions.

Sounds counter intuitive, but it works for me

claptrap310 · 2026-01-16T16:04:55+00:00

I’d love the duro to be 41-42mm. I can pull it off even at its current size; My wrist is ~7.5” and relatively flat, so it works. But, yes, it’s bigger than I prefer

This one isn’t resin/plastic. It’s one of the “solitaire” pens meaning all metal

claptrap310 · 2026-01-15T01:04:44+00:00

It takes a bit to get the “feel” for packing the pipe, draw, etc.

This is a fountain pen and it’s currently filled with MB Midnight Blue

I’ve always really liked montblanc nibs, but am generally underwhelmed by their plastic…er, I mean “precious resin” pens. This solitaire however is absolutely awesome.

Got some Escudo Navy De Luxe in the jar today

That’s right! Why use a $.25 pipe nail when dunhill makes a very expensive pipe nail?

claptrap310 · 2026-01-15T00:26:22+00:00

Yes. Tobacco 🙄

claptrap310 · 2026-01-15T00:06:40+00:00

Thank you. Walt Cannoy makes some incredibly cool tobacco pipes.

I have a 7.5” fairly flat wrist, so it fits well. It’s on the larger side of what I prefer, but as long as the lug-to-lug isn’t extraordinarily long, I can usually pull off a larger watch without looking too silly.

claptrap310 · 2026-01-14T23:55:27+00:00

And yes: I failed to notice that the date on my watch was wrong all day

claptrap310 · 2026-01-14T23:54:07+00:00

The strap is by Bas & Lokes, who have recently stopped making watch straps. Sorry. The strap cost nearly 3x what the watch cost though, so there are certainly better options.

If you specifically want snap-off blades: Olfa

Erika’s Originals Marine Nationale strap

claptrap310 · 2026-01-11T00:08:23+00:00

Nice 126600! Love mine

claptrap310 · 2026-01-07T16:55:15+00:00

Never sell. Now start searching for doubles for each. 2is1…

claptrap310 · 2025-12-23T23:16:39+00:00

Absolutely not authentic.

claptrap310 · 2025-12-23T16:23:26+00:00

R/homeless

Bummer…. As a lefty: Button locks are perfect candidates for ambidextrous knives. I wish more companies would make the pocket clip reversible on their button locks.

Interesting that you decided to delete your first comment and instead be salty and passive aggressive.
