Waiting pays off
After about two and a half weeks, I began to worry that I'd never see this. It should have dawned on me that any package coming through western Canada would be delayed due to the Olympic games. But today, I looked out the front window and spied a postal truck with a packageThere was evidence that my confrres were a little curious about it when it landed in Canada…but all in all it was unscathed…and now the mandatory wrist shot…this thing is a beast!! And my Tissot is fighting for wrist time already…Thank you kenackers for checking in on the delivery status once in a while!

Help me find a good women's watch
I am trying to find a watch for my girl. She's a physician, and so has some particular requirements that would be easy to find in a men's watch, but are proving more difficult in a women's watch. It seems like every watch made for women assumes that they need it encrusted with diamonds and practically without useful features!I'm hoping some nice forum-goers here can point me in the right direction.Requirements:- I don't think quartz/automatic matter.- Preferably no diamonds/gemstones.- Very legible dial.- Must have an easily legible date.- The date should be a fast roll-over. She often needs to see the date at night, and can't have it confusingly halfway for an hour.- Must have a center sweep seconds hand.- Should have 60 second/minute markers on the chapter ring.- Ladies size, (not some hulking 44mm monster that I like :D ).- Some complications are okay, so long as they don't clutter. (She likes retrograde day-of-week, for ex.)- Chrono is not very useful, and likely too much clutter.- Not a fan of yellow gold. Rose gold is fine, stainless is too, etc.Has anyone seen a ladies watch like this? Any help appreciated.
