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…
Anyone know of a way to prevent the entry from tearing more? It's not that bad at this point (in my eyes), but I'd prefer to do something preemptive rather than let it wear more. I've also seen injunjack's repair on this thread, however I'm wanting to actually repair the tear.

Anyone know the best way to repair the pocket entry in an unnoticeable way (from the outside, at least)? It's not terrible right now, but it's worn away enough to be cause for concern.
