Buzz kidder sporran quality?

[James MacMillan]

Is that a Sinn timepiece on your wrist? Possibly a GSG9?

Nope - It's a twice refurbished, Seiko stainless steel Divers Automatic that I got in the early '70's. I really like it. It runs for around $250 to $350 now, but I paid 60 some for it. Seiko has re-built it twice, more for cosmetics than anything else. The case and crystal get scratched and the re-build only cost $45 the last time. Nice heavy no batteries, no wind watch.

The 12 o'clock batons look like the Sinn style. The Seiko divers have quite a cult following. I've been blessed to be able to afford a Seadweller. Not a fashion-esq Subby, but a rugged tool watch. In a day of high technology it is nice to see others who appreciate rugged automatic timepieces.

Hijack over, back to your regularly scheduled sporran thread.

I just got a Buzz Kidder a couple of days ago, and I love it. I got the Rob Roy- ribbed, with tassels and a plain flap. It's made with soft, supple, sturdy leather. It has an amazing capacity. I'm still trying to figure out how much junk I can cram in there before it's maxed out.

The back of mine is different than the one pictured. It has the metal rings wich fit my sporran belt, but it also has leather loops that a wider belt could fit through.

Now that I've got a Buzz, I actually find myself wanting to wear a kilt more often, because I can actually find my stuff without having to empty my sporran.
