The late Bob was a Pastor wasn't he? Now I learn. Silly you of course we don't do actual BBQ in nice car like this. U can drive thru and eat BBQ wings in the car but not charcoal and fire, cos insurance company won't compensate for any loss ;)

Seiko 5 seems to have a huge fan base. Unfortunately I bought one for my sibling and after few months, the hour marker fell off and movement kapoot. So, no more Seiko 5 for me. Repaired through AD and still didn't work. Thx for the pic.

Nice one Foowy. Master ultra thin. Is the small crown difficult to wind? Nice looking.

Post by: foowy on September 23, 2012, 08:50:09 AM: Thanks Kenny

Surprisingly for such a small crown it winds very smoothly and easily.....thus adding the pleasure of wearing it. Unlike my other watches with slightly bigger crowns and a bit harder to grasp them to wind
