Thank God for stretchy bands.

Hi. Had a large lump of cancer removed from my left lower arm this week. As it turns out, those stretchy hair pullers are the only things I can stand on my arm.So main choices so far are nice stainless steel Unicorn with Silver capped band or Gold Hamilton. Will look later to see what else is in there. I know there are new in packet stretchy bands and maybe a Seiko or two. Cheers Phil

Ah Phil, hope that is a one off for you and they got it all. And the good news is those OMSBs are not rare or sought after!

Thanks Pip. Will get results next week. Stretchy bands until it heals. Cheers Phil

Hope you're soon pronounced fit and healthy, Phil.

Hope it all works out for you mate, and nothing reoccurs. 

Those strechy bands should be easy enough to find.

You are one tough dude. I'm surprised that cancer had the balls to attack you

Here's hoping for a positive and clean prognosis.

Hoping your diagnosis is a good one! Stay strong, don't get too used to the strechies.

Gotta love a nice OMSB!

Wishing you well, Phil...and hoping the results are in your favor.

Thanks guys. Wednesday is the day. Cheers Phil

Hope you have a swift and complete recovery from your cancer, I have just had one removed from the centre of my forehead and am treating one near my right eye, they don't call Queensland the skin cancer capital of the world without reason, over the last decade I have had about 20 surgically removed mainly from the face and ears.

As to OMSB's except for the hair pulling I always found the comfortable to work in as the profile of your wrist changes with stretching and twisting a fixed length band or bracelet can become quite uncomfortable, but they were a shit to clean and get all the grease and gunk out of them those days my watch always took a shower with me.

Yeah Max. Had a few before but this one is the first scary one. As you say this area we live in certainly has the sun for it. Pete, whilst you are by no means the first to say that, unfortunately it’s not true. Found another one - 7005 with one of the things. Cheers Phil
