Oh, okay. I just use the "mountain" icon between the camera and the bird and it takes care of the picture upload to the forum.

Cheers.

Platinum glacier looks 100x better than YG and it's under the radar.

Very true, but they are still very striking on the wrist, photos don't do them justice.

Now I'm looking at my wrist and thinking that maybe I should have gone with the platinum.

Hmmmmm



It's SO tempting... It's almost as though it's calling my name.

This is what I picked.



This is what I already wear as a daily beater, which is why I didn't go with platinum, but I SURE was tempted;



I was VERY tempted to go with the silver dial and gold sticks, but ended up going classic with the champagne dial and sticks.

You got the oyster?? The president bracelet is the main reason I chose the DD2. It's iconic!

I figured that's what EVERYONE ELSE does, so I thought I'd break with tradition and still try to remain somewhat classic.
