    Check this out, these are I believe the sapphire inserts that go into the displaybacks on limited edition Speedmasters. I recognise the Apollo 11 35th anniversary Speedmaster back, and the Snoopy back, but the third one is a bit weird, its clearly the same thing, but it looks a bit like the islands of Hawaii

    BTW yes, part of the point of this thread was to impress the Americans by being able to identify the islands of Hawaii on a Speedmaster caseback by their shape in spite of being an Australian ;)

    Dude, you're actually closer to Hawaii than the US East Coast members are. ;)

    I think Australia is more than twice the distance to HI vs the US mainland (based on my memory of flight times).

    Wrong country. You're thinking of England, entirely different land. He's in Scotland. Try going Glasgow and saying, I love it here in England.::blowup::
