Looks very clean, nice strap too. No JJ, not a word more on Omega And I've done you a favour with this advice, just trying to protect you from an angry mob

Frans’s lament

I’m sure there’s a law against this. I know the sand and the heat must have driven him crazy but this is beyond belief. Somewhere in his youth (about a 100 years ago) some bully must have taken his orange tricycle away from him, hence this obsession, nay, trauma!

I hoped to find some piece and quiet on this forum, a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Instead I’m confronted with a daily dose of orange drivel and PO abuse. Very threatening to my poor health.

But every cloud has a silver lining. And because I’m among friends here I can say: JJ, I like you very much! So the occasional hint of orange won’t spoil my day. Nobody’s perfect. Look at me, I’m socially challenged!

Frans.

P.S. No heat yet, Springtime in NZ?

No mamas this one has a solid back its the 42mm size,think view back is
on the 38mm but not 100% sure.I have a large wrist had to have a link
put in a new SD bracelet,the strap on this AT is tight on the last hole.And
before the comedians start,I did not get my large wrist from to much of
that favourite word of JJs.

Yes, JJ does have a fondness for a certain town in China.

I'm not a big Omega fan, but damn, padi, I'm jealous!

I'm no Freudian, but I concur, and I expect Tim will too!
