It was the only way to keep them in budget. :(
I cried when the FLEC was told we had to remove the full-pave diamonds encrusting the case and dial :erschreckt:

I guess the budget kept them from being butt-ugly in this case. :D I know you can't debate taste but to me there is nothing more distracting from the beauty of a watch than diamonds, with gold being a close second. I think the real beauty of most objects come from their design and not from the expensiveness of the materials used.

I feel less strongly about gold/diamond jewels so in that respect if you see a watch as a jewel it makes more sense (to me) to use gold and diamonds.

That's dedication. But perfectly reasonable. :D

Hope you all down in DC aren't hit too hard.

This is why you need a back up battery. Mine's charging now. ;) Should be ready to check in on Tuesday.

I guess Kip was flying into Boston (one of the airports on the eastern seaboard closed because of Hurricane Sandy).

The news here in Canada is talking about airports closed until maybe Wednesday.
