It is a device which replaces the traditional buckle on a watch.  You will often see it on expensive &#8216;timepieces&#8217;  It allows for easier removals and reduces the wear that comes from stretching and bending the leather when putting watch on and taking it off.  Pretty cool, now that I am getting used to it&#8217;s operation.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we have this piece of leather:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/compass_on_leather.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-426\" title=\"compass_on_leather\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/compass_on_leather-400x306.jpg\" alt=\"compass_on_leather\" width=\"400\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a really nice real leather band, rally type with large breathing holes. \u00a0It is very thick, but surprisingly flexible. \u00a0The white stitching matches the watch face well and really compliments the watch. \u00a0The buckle, interestingly, matches the look of the watch like it was made for it:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/buckle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-427\" title=\"buckle\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/buckle-349x400.jpg\" alt=\"buckle\" width=\"349\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe angles reflect the same design as the watch lugs.  I am very happy with this band.<br \/>\nI have to thank my family for accepting my watch collecting and giving me these things, even if they don&#8217;t understand what half of them do.  It is a really fun hobby so far and I love watch bands.  They change the whole look of a watch without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;t=A%20wonderful%2C%20watch%20filled%20birthday.&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2009%2F03%2Forange_orange_1-349x400.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=A%20wonderful%2C%20watch%20filled%20birthday.\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=A%20wonderful%2C%20watch%20filled%20birthday.&#038;body=Hey%20check%20this%20out:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-credit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"WordPress Social Media Feather\" href=\"http:\/\/synved.com\/wordpress-social-media-feather\/\" style=\"color:#444;text-decoration:none;font-size:8px;margin-left:5px;vertical-align:10px;white-space:nowrap\"><span>by <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;margin:0;padding:0;width:16px;height:16px\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"feather\" src=\"https:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/icon.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got lots of fun watch related toys for my birthday.
