Sharkbite on my DeepSea

So I was lounging in Cuba last week when all of a sudden a shark snuck up from behind and took a bite out of my arm and subsequently my watch. Luckily it was made of sand. LOL

A shark bite would be the coolest scratch you can have on an SD...

Great pic!

LOL Thanks for the comments. It was actually pretty cool. I was a little worried about bringing it at first, not because of the people in Cuba because they are some of the nicest and most honest people in the world, but because of customs and security. I have to admit it felt great lounging in the lobby at night with a cigar, my DS and a glass of Havana Club rum. I'll post a couple more shots later.

Had he bitten the watch, I think there is a good chance you could have knocked out some of his teeth.

However I don't think I would want to be the one to try it.

Awesome PIC.
