Welcome to Germany! Can I ask why you chose Mannheim of all cities?  --- Live Free or Jumbo Hard: Jumboday 4  Today is the last day of "Four day of Jumbos" - I'm wearing my latest Jumbo, which you'll notice is not on a matching bracelet. Shame, really, but again: I got it at a price where I couldn't really say anything but "Thank you". I tried to put it on a presidential, but the pins would bend and fly out when I put it on. Might have to investigate what's causing that. Or use another bracelet... This one is also in dire need of a new crystal (and a bracelet) - notice the hit near the "9", but everything else is great! The finish on the sides is still completely there - I'd say it has never been polished. It' got some small kinks but none deep, a german/english day wheel and okay(-ish) hands. Operation is smooth and it keeps good time. Now that concludes my Jumbo episode. Next, I'm going to find out how to get the bezel off without leaving marks and then I'll glue new crystals into the inner bezels. Got the crystals and glue already, now it's just a matter of finding the time... See you tomorrow with a non-Jumbo watch. |

Don't know where you are from originally (you live in Hong Kong, correct?), but I bet the beer and sausages are one thing we germans do better  I sporked' it up at noon (when the postman arrived):  Lucky I had the Jumbo on a NATO, as the leather strap that was on it... Well, let's say if I ever need a skin graft, I can take that strap with me and have it immediately.  |

Might go to Heidelberg for a bit more of sausages and beer in the weekend, before I head back to Hong Kong... |

Another shot from my front porch photo studio. Put this one back on the bracelet for the first time in a year or so.  |

Due to the fact that my watches are now all boxed up and hidden from site due to a pending remodel I've been non-stop wearing my Yellow 6309 mod sold to me by cdgod. I absolutely love it and it's one of my favorite watches.
Josh, would it be okay to use your picture? I also packed away my camera and my phone doesn't take good pictures.
