In such lovely condition...don’t think this one will be going anywhere anytime soon. Just need to figure out the strap options. The case is absolutely pristine, has never been on bracelet (0 scratches behind the lugs)...which is fine as I don’t really like the brick bracelet. All combo ideas/pics welcome 👍

Speedy Tuesday? Check out that sweet bannana slug lume patina.


Was unfamiliar with the species so had to look it up. A review of the wikipedia entry finds this yummy tidbit of culinary enlightenment:

Banana slugs have been used as food by Yurok Indians of the North Coast and by German immigrants in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A yearly festival and contest is held at Russian River including slug races and a contest for recipes - though, even when fed corn meal to purge them or soaked in vinegar to remove slime, the slugs' flavor is not always well regarded, and the most successful entries are often those in which the flavor is unnoticeable.

The banana slug is a big deal in these parts. You can buy banana slug shaped chocolates and there is a bagel company that makes a straight bagel (not toroidal) called a slug. It is toped with a seasoning called slug slime. Also, the University of California, Santa Cruz Mascot is the Banana Slug.
