apparently one of the spring bars was weak as skipped off the lug already. Lucky me that my sweater and coat help holding it to the wrist. If it is in summer time, I would lost it already. Imagine that...:-x

Put it on a new bars on Nato strap at the office, so I can have extra security if one bar fail...:-!

Man, lucky you!

Although I'm sure it would have shown up in the lost and found. ;-)

Lady luck was certainly looking down on you today:-!.
How about a pic of your X33 & NATO combo.

Only if the Bus or rail driver found it! Most of the public would keep it. When we (ATU member's) return an item (to the L and F) it is ours after 30 day's if not clamed. John Wilson.

Whew!! This makes me think I oughta order a number of spring bars to replace the old ones when I'm messing around with the straps/bracelets. Glad you didn't lose it. John

Yeh,...right!
we only have Lost and not found counter in NYC police stations.

Nick, here is the picture of nato & X-33. I usually have it on nato anyway. Just changed it on strap for a day, didn't notice the weak bar at the time...if it was gone, it should be my fault anyway for not checking the bars as it is the rule #1 for watch on straps. No matter what straps your chose, it is as good as the watch that (still) attached to it.
