They all look fantastic to me. I would like to add one someday. But that being said, I have an odd affinity for things in shades of brown. I even have 2 cars that are painted in a nice shade of brown.

Linda:

South of the border they call this "Ocho de Tigre" or "Eye of the Tiger"......very appropriate and my wife loves it. Loose a few links and it fits her small wrist nicely.

Can't see it in the pic but it goes well with Cigar Hat. This pic was at 2012 Mardi Gras at Pensicola Beach.



Taken shory after on the bar...................

I've never been a fan of this watch...until I saw one in the wild a week ago. LOVE it!!!

Don't think I'd wear it...but it's a spectacularly beautiful watch!

I have realized a few things this year. One is that I love the look of a GMT on a jubilee. A few years back we were in Sea Side, Florida on vacation, and I couldn't take my eyes of this guys GMT root beer. If the right one comes along I could see me getting one.
