That is true. Don’t lose the original.
I recently put my old Swiss Army back into service simply by changing the strap. It originally had a leather strap–brown with white stitching. I’m guessing I liked that look when I bought this one 25 or so years ago. Today? Not really me. Plus one of the little bands that keeps the tail tucked was broken. The watch has been sitting in a desk draw for a decade or two.
For like $22, the watch now wears a NATO band and has become my daily. So it’s like I got a new watch.
I love my TAG Heuer Monaco and my Rolexes, but my daily is my vintage Swatch slim line racer.
