Tempvs Compvtare Sea Shepherd Watch
Some people speak for the trees, and others speak for the whales, and dolphins (and porpoises, sharks, turtles, and umm.others animals).

Have I Mentioned that I love the DJ41?
As much as I have been enjoying the smooth bezel silver dial on oyster. I still could not stop peeking at the the blue dial fluted. After seeing smooth bezel on oyster bracelet, I hatched a plan. I slowly implemented it. The results are below.
