Thanks guys for your kind words. Nothing's really like the blue of the Aegean. I really miss it here up north.

I would like your advice though on one point: after two weeks and 6 to 7 hours a day in the sea, is there something particular I should do to my Steelfish? It was of course thoroughly rinsed after each day at the sea. Will there be any effects on the bezel, for ex.? I know, from experience, that sea salt is a killer.

Well... you did apply liberal and frequent sun block did you not? :mrgreen:

Nice shots (& nice vacation!). I usually soak my watch in a glass of plain water repeated a couple of times to make sure all traces of salt is gone, and never had any problems.

Thanks.

Those are just sea salt stains and I took the pictures before rinsing on purpose. After all, my Fishie spent a lot of time in the sea during these two weeks. But it was thoroughly rinsed at the end of each day and put to rest until the next morning, so I got the chance to wear my B01 a little (see viewtopic.php?f=5&t=31914). It performed perfectly well under those conditions and maintained its +2 record.
