Thanks for all the kind words guys. Much appreciated!

Also, for those interested - the new WatchTime magazine features the white 216570 on the cover and a full review as well. Picked it up yesterday.

Have a great weekend!!

Great decision! For utility and readability, a white background is hard to beat.

x2 I share the same opinion as Bruce Wayne! Looks great on you Travis! Wish you could have stayed with us on the Dark Side but the Storm Troopers need some love too! Congrats on your change up! DavidSW strikes again!

I want one - it will be a perfect complement to my GMTII. Are these readily available?
