Post subject:  The Skyland has arrived
Well, gentlemen, the waiting is over; I've finally got my
Skyland. My AD called yesterday with the news:"Better get
down here, Steve," he joked, "or I'll give it to somebody else."

That 60-mile trip seemed to take forever, even though I was
driving 10 mph over the speed limit all the way. But here I sit,
the watch on my wrist, and I know I've fallen in love again -- not
that I love the Steelfish or the Planet Ocean or the others any less,
but there is really something special about the Skyland. On the wrist
it seems to be shouting, "Look at me, damn it, I'm gorgeous!"

I'm afraid I'm cameraless at the moment (It was either the watch or
a camera; you know who won) or I'd post some pix. But a close
friend (he bought my Evo as well as a new Blackbird recently; loves
them both) has a new camera and will post some photos of both
our watches. Can't wait for you to give them a view. :D

Good stuff drax

Yup - more important that you can see it rather than us - we can wait for the pics.

Enjoy :thumbsup:

Congrats! I have to agree with you about the Skyland, It's just such a perfect watch on the SS ProII bracelet. Can't wait to see some pics of all the watches you mentioned. I am curious to see how the Skyland stacks up next to the Blackbird?

Driver,

You're wrong about the PO not getting any wrist time. Next month
when the Beijing Olympics air, he's going to be on my wrist every
second that we watch the swimming competitions on TV. (Gotta root
for Michael Phelps; he wears a PO!)

I'll be wearing the Skyland for all of the track and field events. And the
Steelfish? Can't leave him out of the loop. I'll figure out something.
Maybe I'll wear him during the tennis and table tennis coverage.
It's gonna be a blast! :D

Steve

:lol: Excellent! Although may I suggest the Steelfish may be a little put out only being there for the more gentle sports! Wear him while the downhill mountain-biking is on! Much more fitting! :lol:

Driver,

Gentle sports! I don't think you've ever seen competitive table
tennis at an international level. It aint "ping pong," my friend!
Balls being smashed at 100 mph, repetitive loop kills being drilled
over and over -- even the toughest watch, with the best
shock-absorbing system, is in for a pounding.

As for tennis, you've heard of Raphael Nadal? Can you imagine
the punishment a watch would receive strapped to his wrist for three
or four hours?

Downhill mountain biking? come on, Driver! A piece of cake. No, I think
the Steelfish would be more than happy to watch a good tough tennis
match. Whether he would or not, that's what he's going to get. :D

Enjoy the Olympics,

Steve
