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)?

Perfect. Seriously man, perfect.

almost looks like plum-brown(ish) on my screen...
is that sorta accurate? like a ripe eggplant.
maybe I'm just hungry

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

Marvin again. Beginning to understand Dennis's fascination with thin, C-shaped cases. 馃榾

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.馃槈 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 脿 la Francaise.

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

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

Can't seem to shake this one off?!

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

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 馃憤

Alex, are you a Frank Bridge fan? He was Benjamin Britten's mentor.

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.
