Spent all morning learning how to swap out watch straps. It turned out my steel bracelet had a springbar in an endlink that wasn’t catching properly in the hole so I took it apart, tried on NATO and leather straps before going back to steel and swapping the top endlink for the bottom one until it clicked into place. Satisfying but very, very annoying work 😂

I found an orange watch that I like! It’s called Mergulhador MRG3. Apparently it’s a revival of an original 1970’s dive watch.
“Originally designed and produced for both military and civilian use in the Portuguese market, the Mathey-Tissot Merghulador (Merghulador in Portuguese translates to "diver" in English) has, over the years, become a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts of vintage dive watches.”


Less than a month left to see Curve! at the Audain Art Museum in Whistler, B.C. You can see two of Morgan Asoyuf's frontlets in the top right corner (wall), including the Wolf Frontlet that I commissioned in 2017:
