    What can I say? Sorry...

    The GMT Master is more comfortable on this wrist, than the SubC, despite being only slightly thinner, but I agree: the current prices are unacceptable.

    yes mate bought because I liked the look of it not because it looks like anything else they can get a bad rep I suppose in some ways with some of their model looks and for those I can sort see their point maybe ... I just like it in itself as a nice looking solid tool watch with a comfortable bracelet got to be honest this is a first run I did not like the lume on the later ones ( I was worry as I paid more then I normal do on a watch I would worry when wearing in case of damage but have not felt that way ) so yeah one of my daily wear when I trim down is finished it safe for the minute along with my rado mecca quartz and my seiko lm for now still trying to get to the ismy bakers dozen

    Speedy Saturday:

    Kids away for the weekend at a scout camp, wife visiting old school friends 350 km away. My schedule is 3,5 hours of kenjutsu training with mates, and then off to downtown for a solo pub crawl. You gotta hydrate and refuel after hard physical training.



    First stop, simultaneously premium league football and national icehockey on screen.



    Next stop, a former school converted to a brew pub. Having house beer and a burger.




    Third stop, a former bank turned into a pub. Nice decorations, but cliantele mostly even older then me.



    Riverside and cathedral look nice in autumn night.



    Fourth stop, a former pharmacy currently guess what? Even Michael Jackson (the beer guy) has visited the spot.




    Last stop, my favourite pub. Quiet place off the city centre, some proper beers and great selection of whiskies. A nice and cosy getaway IMO.



    Having some 6% Icelandic porter, can’t remember the name.



    Not a bad Saturday after a shitty week.

    Yeah! Totally stoked. I didn’t know what the prizes would be and actually had been admiring this, last night. Arrived today to see it in the prize case. I came in second, and fortunately, the guy who placed first chose a quite nice Zodiac Super Sea Wolf, which left this for me! It all worked out quite nicely, LOL

    Rainy day here, and earlier this week got some new straps for the Hamilton. Just now getting around to trying them. Unfortunately the leather is too short...I can wear it, but I don't like where tail just barely makes it through the second keeper pushed all the way down. No good. I ordered a short strap because the last time I ordered the regular (from this same company), it barely fit on the last hole (on the largish side)...I can't win

    Also got a parachute strap (not an Erika's Orginal, but another company's variation (for much less), and I hate it... I didn't realize you need to take the spring bards off to install it

    I like the Two NATOS I ordered from Crown and Buckle though... the black one is the seatbelt material like the Omega NATOs but for substantially less.
