Hello all, I was wondering if anybody could provide me with some details on this watch. I recently found it going through some of my late father's things and had the battery replaced. I haven't been able to find anything through google, so hopefully someone here knows a little bit about it. I don't know the value but I do not think it to be worth very much.
Can any of you fine people recommend a way for me to stretch the thighs even more on these bad boys? I've had my pair for a little over a year now, however, since I began working out my legs a few weeks ago, I've added a little too much muscle (I avoided any lower body lifting for this sole purpose for quite some time, but I need the strength). Now the fit is ridiculously tight and they're literally painful to wear… I have tried shoving my fists down into em whilst wearing numerous times but to no avail. At this point I feel like I should sell/trade them...
you stack so that you walk on the hem or where does your problem come from?…
only cotton-thread problem i have on mine (6months in) is with the leather patch coming undone.
I do stack, but they're so stiff that they are well above the ground when walking, so it can't be me stepping on them. Only thing I can do now is wear em and see how they hold up…
Did you have the hemmed or is that chainstitching from the factory? And yes, I specced cotton constructional stitching on these, so they will require more looking after than if we had used polycotton.
It is from the factory. I knew of the stitching not being the normal polycotton as well, but I wasn't expecting it to be quite this weak. Although, the spot where the unraveling began wasn't a "thick" part of the hem (if that makes any sense), and it's apparent that there's a slight crease that appears whilst wearing them.
Hmm…I've only had 7 (give or take) days of wear, and I've already had to do some preemptive stitching/sewing at the hem; the chainstitch has already begun to unravel. Few other places that seem as if they're about to break as well. I love them otherwise, but I feel like these are going to require a plethora of repairs in the future...
Probably about 3 months of actual wear from me, maybe 4 from the previous owner…it's quite difficult to capture the actual fading of these with a cell cam, but oh well...
Probably the truest color^
And the new devils…
Thanks for the replies. I'm almost set on copping these, but I did some sifting through the thread and noticed some who sized up have a bit of hip flare going on, and this is something I'm trying to avoid with a new pair… Would 33 still be the way to go?
Planning on getting a pair….however I have some questions on sizing. I wear a 32 in the Busters, which fit perfectly. Since I have somewhat large thighs, I'm thinking of sizing up on these. But the question is, 33 or 34?
that was actually where I started from haha. I didn't get that great of a 'feel' for it till the end there.
Here's a pic of the finished repair…please excuse the sloppiness, it was my first time using a needle: 
Hopefully it'll hold…
