Hahaha, come on.....there's a week or two when the rain stops and the sun comes out. Also happens to be the same time the field spiders start coming into the house and sit on your pillow right next to your head to say good morning when you open your eyes.

Seriously wet down in London too so thought I'd go for the Seiko Diver 200 SKX007 and lounge around the house Just posted this on the WRUW thread but given I'm stuck in doors listening to torrential rain, thought i would share in the raindrop theme . It doesn't get much wrist time and was as cheap as chips but quite an interesting little watch. The movement has been around for ages in all sorts of forms and is quite unusual in that it's the only automatic watch I have in my collection that cannot be wound by hand..... simply creates a reserve from the movement of your wrist. Also to show Rolex Watcher (Vincent) that I have one too

Great photos, guys. Now we need our members from the tropics to post some pics showing what kind of nice weather we're all missing right now. And it's raining in Seattle as we speak.

The view from my front door...



Stop the world, I want to get off!!! (and so does the chicken on the left of the pic!)

On a happier note, that really is a beautiful root beer, Chris!

That is quite a bit of rain coming down, do you have a raft handy for rain emergencies?
