Hopefully something just as nice coming in. :excited:

Thanks, Tommy!

The Benthos is one of my favorites at the moment. I'm a little bit careful with the original isofrane, so I have it on a newer one. Here's a picture taken this morning:

Although quite heavy, it wears comfortably.

Stunning. Don't see many blues compared to the black dial/bezel. And this one is so clean. :love:
