I vaguely remember your photo of your DS hanging around a faucet (was it?), and that's what made me take the plunge. I hate you for that . . .

Any watch I had in stock over the years and loved, I kept one for myself. Never kept a deep sea. Not well balanced.

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point

I would love to have one, if it didn't have a little bracelet compared to the larger head... It just doesn't feel like a proportional watch to me.

goofy looking watch

corum bubble - esque crystal sinks that ship as far as i'm concerned. if they didnt pretend to make it for actual divers, and put a decent crystal and cut down on the size, it would have worked.

Okay had a chance to see one. I now understand what you guys mean. Maybe I should get the Pam sub or GMT. Suggestions?

I've worn a bunch of big watches but this one feels different .... a bit like strapping a small belt around a bowling ball....

And after that quote I think its time for me to get some sleep... Sorry
