I'm currently looking into buying a new band or a new watch, but for the time being, I've fixed it up with good ol' painters' tape. Just to document this, here it is:

Seems to me you lost just a bit of functionality there... Might I recommend sacrificing a straight pin instead? if you don't have any shame on you. No need to buy a new strap. Straight skinny pieces of metal are not what you would call uncommon.

ReplyDeleteAt about .0118lbs per yard according to google, and assuming 93000000 miles from earth to the sun, .0118lbs/yard*163,679,999,949yards = 1931423999 lbs of painters tape. Considering the mass of the earths is about 1.3166447E25, we're talking about using 1.467E-16 of the earth for this project. That seems a little excessive.
