I was teaching at 11:11, so no chance at a live photo. Still, my JLC is eagerly anticipating a trip to the Borneo jungle, so it wanted to play lizard in my office ponytail tree. Not bad for an iPhone picture. HAGWE! Daniel...  

Great Watch & combo......nt

Ah! Thanks Magnus. [nt]

Another Bingo, Kyle. A fine competitor of the Omega and Longines, without doubt.
