SBBN045 gets my vote. Stellar.

no worries. just let me know your address if you want it.

i do have to say the tuna works better without it. the sapphire even with ar cases a lot of reflections. that is why i took mine out. :mrgreen:

I thought I would close things out with some pictures. I ended up going for the SBBN015. No regerts. Holy smokes this thing is awesome. I really love the bracelet and drilled lugs will make strap changes a breeze. I think the size is perfect on my wrist and it doesn't seem to wear thick at all. It is definitely a tough watch to photograph with the domed crystal.

Very nice.

Never should have sold mine.

Or the 017 I had after that.

Or the 031 I had after that.

Sigh.
