Thanks for all the kind words and welcome! I'll be posting many more pics once I have the chance! Next up... new strap!

In the meantime, here are a few more pics from the trip

Shish kabobs on Broadway

This is one of my fav AP's from PHOTOS as well. I have never seen one in person.

I suspect I might be very attracted :)

Congrats on a great one and peaking my interest on some research!

Great story and great watch!

Sam has or knows him, (had) one with a red strap.

Enjoy!
