    Gone, but not forgotten. Photos and writeup here:

    http://www.behindthewatch.com/archive/2

    (Strap in top 2 is Leffot in natural, I believe; the other two it's an omega with deployment [lovely buckle, awful strap])

    Photos taken with a Fuji xt1 and 60mm f2.4 macro lens, quick edits in lightroom - BOOM done! I've shot canon, nikon, leica- and with leica being my favorite, fuji is definitely the best bang for buck at the moment. Glass is SUPER sharp and their EVF's are getting better and better. Not to mention- the ability to improve the camera bodies and lenses simply with a firmware update is astounding in itself.

    Have another 145.022 I bought from kringkily that is arguably prettier than this one (patina wise) but just waiting on one special part to make it more a "piece of me" than "just a watch", (so to speak) to take photos of it.

    :( A sad story! Hopefully the new Speedy fills the gap and becomes truly yours mate.

    If not... I have 4 on their way to me at the moment - I'm sure I could spare one :p

    Oh trust me, after nursing school, I'm going to have a field day. haha. I actually prefer this one as it seems to be more special to me, signifying my acceptance and (hopefully eventual) completion of nursing school- crowns a new beginning, pun intended. ;D
