First things first: 'Da box!

Hey congrats...

I cannot see a single photo via my iPhone, but I am sure they are lovely. I dig this watch, but will have to be happy with my 111 until I can trade up.

My recent new edition will have to be it for a while.

Wear it in good health Marc!!!!

I can see the pics but others can't. Which photo uploading did you use? I suggest photobucket.

Well, I can't see the pics while I'm at work, but I'm assuming they are awesome. Can't wait to see them when I get home tonight. Congrats.

You like the gold gator? Cool! It's the strap the PAM 88 ships with, but I loved the 'retro' vibe it gave the 312...
