Rare vintage, Graham. William, I like the dial of that ML. Very sleek piecesThumbsUp02.gif.

Dievas Aqua Luna back to SteveO leather. But the watch's days are numbered. My grown-up son, (HK is his handle on 3T) wants this one to complement the blue Aqua Luna that he already has. So I guess tearful goodbyes will soon be madecrap.gif. But, if this helps to make him move along the hobby, I'd sure be glad.

So Jeff: Your older son is on the forum to? I had a question about the Luna. How is the bezel ratchet on it? Tight like an ant's butt?toon1.gif

Hi William. yes, my son's on 3T too and he posted maybe about twice. But he only lurks and is intimidated by our watches and all the grumpy old farts on the forumbamby.gif.

The AL's ratcheting is just right. I don't use it as often and maybe that's why but since I don't really dive, it's hard to tell. A tad softer and easier to turn than the Rolexes but a tad tighter than the Pams. The ratcheting sound is very sweet, very regular and no sudden dips nor misalignments.

Ant's butt?subtlelaugh.gif What are you drinking now, William? Hi octane 96, unleaded??mini me.gif

Great pieces guys and happy Sunday!!!

Headed to church this morning with the family and the Glycine Lagunare on the newly arrived Gunny Strap.  I'm really liking this combination so far.

Thanks Nick! Yes the green is cool to but personally I still prefer my yellow pastel: Feels like a bit more homogeneous with the markers's color...
