Soon.....she will be mine

Of course I am referring to the Terra Nova.

They should hit the street by some time in August. Wearing it made me want it more.

500M WR, GMT, the Ti case scales it down in weight enough to make it more comfortable but the soft iron core for the anti-mag protection makes sure it is not feather light. Anti-shock and modified movement. I am a big fan of this watch.

After trying on Bartlett's SM 500 on bracelet, Mike Pearson's on a nato and this on rubber makes me think this will be ultra versatile as I enjoy these days in my small collection.

Oh.... The legs belong to Banu from Rhapsody magazine. The rest of Banu is pretty fine as well.

It is an amazing watch in the metal. If I didn't have an S500, I think I'd be in line for one.

This is bullshit... we need MOAR pics of Banu! :grin:

The Terra Nova is cool, although I could do without the cardinal points markings on the bezel.

A blue version would be killer!

I hung out with Banu at the Bovet event.
That is one sharp looking woman.
