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.

I really like this. The blue especially.

If this is as good as Chronicle is (I got to review it, and loved it), I will definitely be buying this.

If it had a 12 hour bezel option, it would make a good pseudo GMT.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Not to my tastes, but well executed and clean. Objectively attractive.

Handsomely executed design. The caseback is interesting…wonder if the protruding fins and deep relief would present comfort issues or not.
