Summer watch

Jun 13, 2014,09:50 AM
 

This is my beater for summer - white dial, with a new white strap. 


Does it work? I don't know. I'm not sure. Do I need a pastel leisure suit, white belt and shoes?

Since it was nice and warm, I decided to do a 7 am summer sun beach photo shoot for WristScan




I drove to the beach


 

No sun




At least I was beginning to get that relaxed, summer beach feeling





I drove over the hill and looked to the east over the bay, and there was no sun.



So I went home, took off the new "too clean" gummy white strap, and reinstalled the old Tropic Band it's been wearing for several years. That looked much better!

And as I loaded pictures up to the website, suddenly the sun came out!
