The XT1 is a hot camera, took me a while to figure out the right version of iPhone app.

I am jealous that you live in paradise!
I'm mostly doing landscape and travel so I got rid of my speedlights when I switched from Nikon to Fuji, can't really be bothered with all that just for watch snaps :)

Haha I had the same trouble with the app.

Maldives is great to visit! Living in such a tiny developing country has its issues though...

Thanks! Personally not a fan of the way two tone looks, I like the steel and some of the gold ones looks great too. But thats entirely subjective apart from that I'm sure everything I wrote applies to the tt model too. Are you thinking of a tt Daytona for yourself?

Fantastic review ��
I have only had my white faced Daytona for just over a month and am still in awe of it. Massively exceeded my expectations and couldn't recommend it enough.
Excellent photos as well ��

Been thinking about a white dial daytona, but still wondering whether it will be too bling with the pcl and polished bezel. Thanks for the review!

Thank's for a great review.

Be careful opening and closing the clasp lock as it will mark the bracelet link as does the underside of the clasp.
