Dang. I effed up another watch strap.

To those who own watches with leather straps:

1. Contrary to what you read on the internet, don't use vinegar. The internet says vinegar, and I used red wine vinegar. Maybe I should have used normal vinegar. I gave the watch a soak in the vinegar and left it to dry overnight but now it smells of vinegar.

2. I washed it after leaving it in the fridge for an hour to dry, and it still stank of vinegar, and decided to dry it on the stove. Part of it shrunk. And some liquid started to come out. And after that, it still smelt funny.

So yeah. Don't do what I did. Words of wisdom.

I really hate not having a watch on my hand.
