New SD - Pics

My 50th birthday present.

Please excuse the amateurish pics. I'm just beginning and also need to clean the watch!

Anyway, some wrist shots:






One showing the font of the ft marking and the lack of 29 and31 minute markers:



One of the watch face:


It's 9 days old and is running exactly 4 seconds per day fast, irrespective of whether I wear it at night or keep it crown up, crown down, face up etc. I suppose that means it's accurate and I'll wait to see if it settles and then have it regulated.
