Very cool watch to have, Eddie. ... My wife was looking over my shoulder as I checked out TRF the other night. She saw my avatar and asked who JJ was. I told her a little about him and showed her some of Jocke's photoshops. She could tell pretty quickly that he was one of a kind.

I am still smitten with my new DSSD. None of my watches have seen any substantial daylight in 14 days. They are all getting worried...and rightfully so:)
