Hey!

That's some nice pics. I like the white of the crystals contrast with the blue of the sub. That right there is the only TT watch I'd seriously consider, I think.

I take that as a big compliment from the master banner maker. I took about 35 shots with those crystals and these two could be much better. They came out amazingly good for what I was expecting. I am going to Photoshop some when I have the time. Thanks. =) maverick

Nice pictures especially the bottom one where the blue looks almost like my favourite black.

I understand

Hi JJ, Even though it is getting less wrist time right now, I cannot part with it. That face looks at me and says. "Please don't sell me, daddy." It will be getting more wrist time in the future. These GMTs are tough and mean. It will not let me take it off my wirst. The bracelet grabs the hair on my arm and wrist and won't let go.
Have a great day, =) maverick

Mav,

I hear you on this one too. Don't know if I could sell mine. Even if it does not get worn that often, I know I would reget it if I sold it.

So for now it holds a special place in the collection.

Keep it that way, Mark. Unless you are planning on an even more attractive piece like the TT YM!!

Hey Dennis, the TT Sub was pulling the hair on JJ's head, that is why he had to get rid of it.

JJ, have you ever stopped to think that we are the "normal" ones and you stand alone on an island as the king of Mount Tosser?
