My Anti Larry's Anti Green Thread
As we are all aware, our dear learned friend and resident Mod Larry has an aversion to all things green.

Thinking about that today, I decided to push up the ISO on the Canon and select the B/W setting and take some pics for him.

Hopefully Larry, these are some LV pics that even you can appreciate!!!














Sorry guys, I didn't know she was so filthy...and I gave her a wash before I took the pictures!!!!!

Do you wear your watch when you shower? Would it make a difference if the bezel were manufactured using cathodic magnetron sputtering?

Interesting questions..

If you wear it in the shower too much, will it turn green...

Can magnetron sputtering retard the green affect, or does it enhance it

Why not just pick up a black bezel insert and switch back & forth? You are lucky that where you live its as easy as buying a cup of coffee!
