Cool pics!  I love the canal shots.
You should take some photos of the foggy sunsets or sunrises.  All you ever hear is people talk about how foggy and rainy it is in the UK all the time.  I think a photo of the watch in the fog would be neat.

Fellow andy,

Cool photos!  I like the early morning mist one.  I'm going to have to get some really good photos once the watch gets over here.

Gotta laugh - the "Canal" is actually the river Severn, one of the biggest rivers in England! - Damn we is a tiny country!

Seems ok to me, never really checked it, maybe running a little slow if anything.


It's packed and ready to go to John tomorrow....

WOW!  This is moving fast.  I was thinking it would be at least two or three weeks between travels.

After having the last one which i REALLY dident like i wasn't expecting to like this new one at all................but I actually quite like it and wore it all day, ok you could nit pick about the colours and build quality etc but i was pleasantly surprised and very happy to wear it and look forward to getting some decent pictures with it.

Also my wife thought the pink bezel was my inner sensitive side finally showing through   ;)

I can tell you were upset about the 'pink' comment...it threw your spelling all to hekk ;)

But your overall assessment seems to verify that this is a worthwhile watch(styling aside) and one that most folks could probably learn to love.

I too, look forward to pictures...I really enjoyed the water shots you did last time :)
Y2K12 ... the end of WISdom as we know it or just more of the same? ;)

I think it's a cool looking watch.  I can't wait for it to make its way over here to the States.

Bezel insert is just too fancy IMO, but that design makes a great watch... ;D
