As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Damn but does that look great, and I do my best to ignore “ubiquitous” black dial divers with black bezel inserts. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a Promaster. Maybe it’s the gray strap. Maybe it’s both.

%99 of people do not notice or care whats on your wrist. All that matters is that YOU like what you see.

Thanks. Yea, I know what you mean. There are a million of them out there so people don't get too excited about them. But it's nice having one good black dial diver. And I think this one is as good-looking as any of them. Not to say I won't ever buy others, but I'll eventually flip them and keep this.

I get the bracelet's vibe, but I may try a couple of straps on it just for fun.

(I'm not swimming in 18mm straps at the moment, however.)

Here's an idea....

The Q case has precious little room between the lugs. I was unable to mount either a stitch-less leather strap or a tropic. I will get a two-piece nylon strap and see how it looks. Thanks!
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

Rado Captain Cook 42mm green dial

People said pictures don't do justice for this watch, and I have to agree. The green dial changes color so dramatically under different lighting, and it is really difficult to capture the color.Image

First day back in the office after the New Year... yet here I am posting WRUW and contemplating a CW60 Bronze from HUISABH. Someone talk me out of it.

I'm not normally one to talk somebody out of a new watch purchase but if it's of any help, that thing you got on your wrist is way cooler than anything I saw from the CW sale. I really like the newest CW bronze diver but for better or worse it wasn't part of the sale.

There was one in the 50% link...but I hope it is now gone so I don’t buy it.

Edit: My mistake, was not the newest bronze diver...but a few C60’s from last year.
