    Thanks Raza! Yes, usernames...what in the world is going on with usernames...pretty much all over the board, but I wanted to keep it common across watch forums I guess.

    The Speedy is my favorite purchase for the year and the Bremont continues to wow me with just how scratch resistant the case steel is (2000 on the Vickers scale of hardness)...not even minor swirlies on the polished sections of the case! Love the Seikos and will likely be taking one along on our upcoming trip to the Caribbean! Also agree with you on the Dan Henry, a great vintage look with excellent build quality, but not truly vintage at all...only the look and cheap fun if you ask me! Really great piece that is just plain cool!
    Cheers,

    Chris

    Chris, I know all your 2016 incomigs, but the GD-350 not !!!
    You kept it secret.

    But I am positivly surprised.

    Absolutely great choice with the GD-350 !
    This G is one of my all time favorite G's. One of the best modules of an G-Shock. And I loooove the look of this one. Best looking G.

    What you feel with an G-Shock on your wrist ?

    I must ask....when do you find time to wear the Suunto?
    During Hurricane prep sessions, dog bath sessions, hedge trimming days and long road trips.

    Nice.

    Hurricane prep up here is a lot different than it is down there, I bet. I usually just go to the liquor store.

    If your like me if you use a screen name that is your first name you'll spend hours trying to find one that is not used. So I went to a nickname I used for my first dog. It is hardly ever used.

    I started the year with one Zodiac, but I ended the year with three:

    Three seems to be the magic number for 2016.
