    Doesn't mean much :-)
    Maybe he didn't want to pay 5 figures and they decided his product wasn't welcome on WUS :-) they closed my thread today so it's not really just about Todd. Apparently a user can't really post about his products either.

    Hmm, looks great (the gray is the pick of the litter for sure), great materials, good movement, Bradystraps sailcloth are awesome straps, pretty much perfect size (43mm x 49mm is spot on for me), and a little goes to charity. Seems like a win-win.

    I, of course, have no money, so I'll be abstaining. But even if I had money, what's with the name? Is Todd Swedish? (Yes, I had to look it up, because I was going to say it sounds like some local Scandinavian dish that doesn't sound appetizing.)

    Oh, no worries. I used emoticons so you didn't think I was actually upset.

    There's irony here in the name "Baltic Shield". I don't recall Sweden protecting anyone inside or outside the Baltic.

    I agree the grey dial/yellow accent is appealing but I don't like the chunky untapered crown guards. It gives the whole case an unbalanced look.

    Sounds like a Kool beer though ......

    Two Karlskrona's please bartender, and make it snappy.
