My YM...a few pics

After the big feed on Sunday I wasn't really feeling like doing anything too strenuous, so decided to play around with the camera again. This time the YM is the star of the show.

First, just a straight-up shot....



Then my wife suggested an artsy kind of shot, so here is some red to match the red lettering on the YM....also has a Christmas theme to it, so appropriate for this time of year.



Then I took somce close shots - here the tritium markers appear to be turning slightly yellow.......



Don't you sometimes wish you had three hands? I've got three here......

It is full-size. The medium size ones don't fit over his sweater.

Al, those really are some great shots of a beauty watch that you don't see everyday!

The first one is all set for the advertisment.

Not a girly one, but just made for someone with smaller wrists like me. Unfortunately, it makes the watch very hard to sell....

This will be my one and only "not full-sized" watch.........funny thing is, when I bought it I thought it was huge, but now it's the smallest watch I own except my vintage piece......

It's a beauty, Al. Hate to think of you wanting to sell it, though.

So Ed, you hate the thought of me wanting to sell it, which means you are fine if I actually sell it, right? Sorry, I always feel the need to be absolutely sure what a lawyer really means.........

So just because I say you're unusual, you take it as being a bad thing? I think it's a compliment. Who wants to be 'usual'?

You got it, Al. I hate the thought of you wanting to sell it, but if you sell it and don't want to sell it, I'm fine with that.

(How's that for lawyer-speak?)
