Wow, things blew up after a couple days not being on... For the person that asked about the Dover in 82:

No fancy watch to show off but I tend to wear my late father's watch. More sentimental value than anything since the last maintenance probably cost more than it's MSRP. Didn't think the guy did it properly though since condensation is happening...

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Edit: from a google search, it appear to be whiskey cordovan...

Sure that is vintage chestnut? That is quite dark and burnished for chestnut, i'm thinking it might be cedar or some highly burnished version...

Edit: from a google search, it appear to be whiskey cordovan...

I doubt it's Cordovan. Shell Burnhams have seams below the elastic sides because the shells are so small. At least that's the only version of shell Burnhamns we've ever made or seen. More likely a heavily burnished Cedar or Chestnut.

Like so, in Whiskey Shell:

Agreed, although I wonder how the Cordovan rolls would look on these.

I think the Dover looks good on the 82.


Nice watch too. I hope you get the condensation issue sorted out, I certainly would address it as soon as possible by the way.
