for left field wrist scan...only clocks no wrist watches ;) That was my initial idea but only few followed and it was worth it at least for some maybe in some future weekend.... we can do all clocks Sincerely Damjan

2 winners were clocks....

Must be a first for wrist scan :) I wonder how many of us have clocks..? I use mine every day and I'm so pleased I got it. Yours, Andy.
