The green dial is fabulous!

Yes it is. Indoors out of direct sunlight it often looks black or very dark grey. And in direct sunlight outside the dial is a beautiful lush but matte green. The matte is a nice contrast to the polished white gold hour markers

Yes, I work with explosives in my job and when I saw video of the LAPD blast I immediately recognized a high-velocity, high energy explosive. Typical fireworks gunpowder does not combust nearly that fast.

After I saw your post I looked into that particular watch and now I understand why you had to save up some money -- they are not cheap, coming in a little pricier than a new Submariner (if you could actually buy a new Submariner for MSRP).

Twelve at night and the light outside is freaking awesome. Take notice on the kids playing b-ball, and far away in the background you can still see that there's some snow left on the mountains.

Summer is great!

I can't think of a more patriotic watch on Independence Day. (Except, perhaps, for a vintage Hamilton. Gotta get one of those.)

Happy 4th everyone!

Love this area. I’m not too far away and made a spontaneous trip to Big Sur to see sunset there. Loved it

Will take this back to my WM today, now gaining too much time, I can't win 🙁

But on the brighter side he has got two more watches for me to pick up after servicing them, bit like a lucky dip he didn't say which 2, currently I have about 6 with him for repair and service.
