I hate to say it but I actually miss photosuckit. They automatically limited the size of the photos. Imgur doesn't do it. I'm going to have to figure that out. Apologies for the IMAX size photos.

Imgur has this on their desktop site. They do not have it in the app or on mobile but you can use your browser and request the desktop site. I typically use Large Thumbnail.





I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

I hate to over-Seiko this thread, but this 62MAS re-issue is just captivating my camera lens as I labor to try to get a pic to suggest how amazing the crystal, dial, indices, case etc etc etc...

That Seiko Diver is nice, and certainly a hot piece at the moment. Has a lot of good features.

Of all the different styles and colors of watches, the ones blue dials really are stunning.

I've had some great blue dials from time to time.

The king daddies!




And a few great value plays.

Love that FPJ. I have a 15202 Extra Thin, a bit more blue than your Jumbo. One of my favorites.

Mine was in and out very quick. It was an older model I bought pre owned and it had the one sided deployant instead of the dual butterfly deployant. It cantilevered off the side of my small wrist and just couldn't be made to fit up. For a 39mm watch, it really wore like a 41 IMO too. The FPJ was (gone now also) an amazing dial. It would look iridescent blue, or maybe dark navy... or maybe just black. Depending on the lighting of course.

Can't go wrong with that PADI! I know a guy that just had one modded with a domed AR sapphire. Really elevated in a subtle way, the impression the watch gives.

Much oblige. I thoroughly enjoy a good manual winding movement.

With new job no time for WIS activities, but took a few minutes to browse classifieds at TZ today. That will do it - now I can't look back for another few months. Where's the BLEHHHHH emoji??
