Great pics of your lovely family, JJ my friend. And...the NATO actually looks great with the Sub on your wrist.
Thanks, Allan. Eddie did all the hard work and he was nice enough to let me play a role in the gag.
The photo work was done by me using this very easy to use site: http://photofunia.com/ . So many of their examples fit JJ that I couldn't stop myself. And you're right, that nato looks great on JJ.

Hi Allan, That first photograph is exactly as you see it. Eddie was here in Auckland last weekend with his son (whose watch it is). Eddie got me to try it on and then clicked!! Can't get simpler than that, can it?

Thanks for the info, Dan. Fantastic job! Kudos to you and Eddie for creating a superb thread. Much fun had by all, and an excellent example of how super this board and it's members are.

Hi JJ! Yes, Dan explained how that first photo was used in all the cool ways, such as the "Wanted Poster", etc. Glad you got to spend some time with Eddie and his son. You DO know that the strap looks good on ya with the Sub...Right?

Guys, that pic was taken by Eddie (directioneng) who came to Auckland last weekend with his son. They came to visit Eddie's mother who is not too well and is in a nursing home at present.

Eddie and his son, Ashley, came over for some morning coffee to my place and that watch is a no-date Sub on a NATO and actually belongs to Eddie's son. Naturally, Eddie got the idea that I try it on and then clicked that pic just for kicks.

I had no idea he would be using Dan as his agent!!

Cheers - JJ
That is what you say...but I heard you really liked the feeling and have a hard time to admit that here to your friends...we are on your side. You can trust us!
