Wrong on EVERY level - seek instant medical attention. Next you'll be commenting on the quality of stitching on her bikini.

By the way, does anyone recognize the lake in the Leryn Franco pictures? It says Banff area and it may be Lake Louise, but I'm not positive. The glacier in this one looks about right.

For some reason I just haven't been able to find the pics with the watches. Oh well maybe I need to have another couple of looks at those PICs.

Well, now that my blood pressure has returned to normal, I'm pretty certain that Bruna Schmitz is wearing either an OP or an AK.

I'm pretty sure it's not a DJ.

Let's get our priorities straight! This is a watch board!



Okay, I'm calm now.

Bruna's a heart-stopper and perhaps a little fickle.

What's she wearing on her wrist here?

The wrist, okay?

It looks like if she wore that deepsea on the street she would have to drag her arm around town It looks massive on her wrist.

In my opinion those watches look too big for them.
Especially the one on Franco.
To me this is not a good look.

Couldn't agree more but to be honest with these pictures I am not focused on the watch!

Thanks, you're right it's an absolutely beautiful area. Here's one I took of the lake - looks like winter but it was May, gorgeous spot nonetheless. No SI models there that day, unfortunately.

Stunning photo. I spent my honeymoon there. Also I grew up in Montana so my family used to go up there every year to go skiing!
