    As some are aware I have been in hospital for the past six days but discharged yesterday, an evening in my own bed and to awaken at a sensible hour to sunshine and birdsong I reckoned life could not get any better :)

    That was until after breakfast when my love presented a welcome home present,

    What a girl, she knew I had been admiring these boxes :thumbsup:
    What a lucky boy I am but things got even better,

    Part of my recovery regime includes gentle exercise so a great excuse to strap on the new arrival and enjoy a 'wonderful day'

    Awesome welcoming gifts! Enjoy them in good health!

    I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the brand ....

    Best regards,

    Congratulations on your recovery and best of health moving forwards!

    A strange coincidence is that I just stumbled across the Everest whilst browsing the interwebs this morning.

    I'm curious to hear your opinions on how it wears? I'm a big, big fan of the 1016 and while I wait for the funds to afford one, I thought the Smiths would be a nice way to get my adventurers' fix for a very reasonable price.

    I've noted the lug to lug size is quite long, but it looks very well sized on your wrist! Would you mind sharing your wrist size?

    Congrats once again and enjoy the outdoors and sunshine :thumbsup:

    Sorry to hear about your recent hospital stay and I hope it was for something planned, not an emergency. Best wishes for a swift complete recovery.

    My wrist comes in at just under seven inches, I immediately removed the bracelet as for me it was a bit on the heavy side hence the nylon which is a comfortable combination but I will be on the lookout for alternatives. Lug width of 22mm
    Metric and imperial ::facepalm2::

    A heartfelt prayer for your recovery and best wishes to you and your love.

    The Smiths appeals. So do your nice photos.

    Lovely box and watch. Glad to hear your on the mend!

    What's your marmalade eating chum called? He looks like he may be a lifetime companion?

    P.S. Linlithgow Palace?
