Sunlight just right

A little sunlight can turn complacency into love in a flash. Last minute, early morning flight, but I was able to snag the last seat on the plane. I was completely dragging (I gave up coffee months ago and rarely miss it), but I did catch myself looking down at my wrist the instant we peeked through the a.m. clouds and said to myself, "Damn, that's a good-looking watch."

Looks amazing Mr Coach!

The sun is making that sunburst dial shine its green magic!

I also think ambient light can also bring the best out of some watches attributes too, as per below.

When Sun Light hits the dial of the "Hulk" it just blows my socks off ! The Blusey is a close second.

Thanks all! So happy I finally saw one in person because there's zero chance I would have bought sight unseen. I always thought it would be way too much green.
