As a former WOTM myself, I accept your kind and generous pardon for my sins!

Hey, guys. I haven't been around much lately -- my new job keeps me pretty busy. I've wanted one of these Casios for a long time, and I finally got tired of waiting for Amazon to lower the price, so I moved it from my wish list into my cart. It was on the doorstep this afternoon: It's a little larger than I usually like, but it is very light and the strap is more comfortable than I would h

... when they released that ridiculous, hideous "drinking" watch. Those of us who had been waiting 2 years for a 39mm GMT were a bit disappointed to see that this abomination was more important to them than fulfilling a promise they had made to customers several years before. As far as I know, this was their last "new" product. I still have my Ocean-1, but they lost me as a customer l

I'm running W8 on three high-end Dell machines at home and at work with zero issues. I haven't had any crashes on the three of them, ever. The high CPU and continual fan operation are probably symptoms of the same problem. The resource monitor should make it easy to figure out what's eating your CPU cycles. --Les

I haven't been around much lately (my new job keeps me *very* busy), but I wanted to stop by and say hello for the holidays. I'm wearing my Skyhawk AT today: Merry Christmas, everyone! --Les in FL

Wearing my trusty old Momo Design chrono today. I bought this spur-of-the-moment in Murano about 15 years ago. --Les

I sent it to Mayor's' jewelers - a large regional chain based here in Florida. They are an Omega AD, and they sent the watch to Omega in New Jersey. --Les

The total came to a little more than $600, which included a completely new movement and a new crown. Yours, like mine, is the fairly rare day-date model: This was the second time I had sent my Constellation back to Omega. The first time around, they

My wife bought this Belair for me about 10 years ago. I had never heard of them before. Apparently, they used to supply the "house brand" watches for a number of jewelry stores across the US. This one is very similar to your Trinity, and was also assembled in the USVI. As far as I know, these are the only two Belair watches ever mentioned on PMWF! --Les

That's the standard leather band.

One of Tissot's best-known and most original designs: It's hard to tell from the picture, but the markers touch the inside of the crystal. --Les

This was a totally original design when it first appeared in 1992. This my 1995 model: --Les

I'm also going with a Victorinox today, although at the other end of the dark/light spectrum: --Les

And i just removed them from consideration for my next Seiko purchase. Ironically, I'm considering the exact same watch... --Les

Up Early (EST) - So - 12 months ago

It's my last day of work before I take off on a 10-day driving trip with my family. I think I'll wear this one today: Happy almost-Friday, everyone! --Les
