Below are pictures of a watch holder that can slip over the upper handle knob of and Astra sextant. It is made from an aluminum address plate number from Home Depot. It can be cut with kitchen scissors and bent by hand. Self stick velcro hooks are on the "device" and the loops on the back of any watch. The bracket is folded up for use and the watch pressed into the velcro. When finished pull off the watch and the bracket folds flat, fitting into the case without removing it. It cost two bucks and was cut and shaped in 2 minutes. The hole was made with a paper hole punch.
