Elgin Touchdown 202 (Mermaid)
Here's one from the vault that you don't see every day. If I were to compile a list of THE quintessential American wristwatches, the Elgin Touchdown 202 would have to be in the top 10. It's typically referred to as the 'Mermaid' because of the crisply engraved mermaids and seahorses around the bezel. Here is my example. I've had it about 5-6 years, and I think I've only worn it perhaps 3-4 times. It's small, it's unusual, and it's TOO cool! It's powered by a 15 jewel Elgin 444 movement and keeps suprisingly good time. If you find one, don't show it to your wife!! (Because she WILL try hard to wear it without you knowing! LOL) I've seen perhaps 6-8 for sale in the last 10 years, and my example is one of the best 2 or 3 I've seen. Most have the intricate engravings worn smooth.I BET others here have one also. Show em' if you've got em.

New Strap by . . . and question
Just received my new ammo strap from Daniel at Daluca (got the strap before I even ordered the watch. I will be calling DavidSW on Monday to order). I could not be more pleased with the strap. Daniel at Daluca was a complete pleasure to talk to on the phone, answering all of my newbie questions with great patience.I asked him to pick an early year leather with a great look. He chose a 64 Swiss Ammo pouch and made a beautiful strap. I ordered the Venetian cream with it, and now I have no idea what to do with it. I am confused by what I've read. In some places it says only use the cream if you want to make the strap look new for a long time. They also say don't use the cream if you want it to age naturally and develop a nice patina.Is this true?Please educate me on the proper way to care for this strap.Thanks!
