That's a very nice waffle. I have the same watch with a cream (non-waffle dial.)

 

Beater 5513 doing tool duty. Later it got some bathing time (very short - only 16 Celsius in the water out at sea)

 

Got an Abu Garcia myself - custom geared for long distance casting so the worm gear doesn't blow up on one of those 100+ yard heaves. That was necessary on a 12 foot casting rod. How do you like yours on the 7 footer (estimate)?

Yeah, there's a little brown coming through in bright sunlight. Eggplant is probably fair.

 

UPDATE: I just had an interaction with a very attractive 30-something woman who couldn't take her eyes off this watch. It was almost embarrassing. Her exact words: "That watch is beautiful and the bracelet is amazing." That sort of thing has rarely happened with any of my other watches... well, except for the JLC seen above. I tell you, there's magic in that Marvin, boys. If only I'd had this to set the mood when I was single... it's like the Marvin Gaye of watches.
N.B.: Here's the thing - when she says, bless her heart, "is that a Rolex?", you gotta chuckle suavely and say no, today's a special day, so I wore my Mar-VAN. Very important to pronounce it à la Francaise.

 

When a woman compliments your watch, she really isn't talking about the watch at all.

 

Uh-oh... is it like when we say how beautiful their eyes are?

 

Thank you sir! I love the patina on this, it gives the watch so much character. One of my favorite purchases of anything, ever.

Tremendous watch. One does not simply shake off something that bumps back.

 

I switch between these 2 playing in the sun!...

A night of power outages - we used to call them cuts - so much rain animals were in pairs and even more of the same forecast today.
Something a little more rugged on the wrist called for

 

Captain Turtle today.

 

Some bling for my Sisters Graduation

 

Very nice. :wub:

 

I'm a new Britten fan thanks to Wes Anderson and Moonrise Kingdom.

Good looking watch. You wear it well

 

Hi Adam, I adore Frank Bridge. I have recorded and sung his songs. Also Britten is a big favourite. Just getting into his darker work, Peter Grimes with Jon Vickers as Grimes.
