    Sir M, I could have done with a sou'wester myself yesterday afternoon, the heavens opened. Today looks brighter and warmer thankfully. Could be a thunderball pink shirt and blue shorts day.

    I concur, looking great Chris! I love that outfit. Those are some mighty weather fluctuations you've got there, from a cardigan to beachwear!? I'm lucky if there is one day a year I can wear a cardigan, even in the dead of winter here in Florida. Typically, even when it's cold, the sun is so powerful, you can't wear a jacket or sweater of any kind without sweating. And, in the summer, it's either hot enough to make you want to shoot yourself or it's hot enough to melt upon exiting the house, those are the only two options :))

    Found a nice little compliment to the Aqua Terra from Seiko. 42mm case with stainless steel bracelet. Dial is blue and does have teak pattern. Pretty damn close if you ask me. Might have to pull the trigger on this one....

    Not bad at all. What's the reference number of the watch?

    Pulled the trigger on this for my Aqua Terra alternative and I must say I couldn't be more pleased. Tried to get some shots in the light to show off the teak dial but pictures really don't do this justice. 42mm case fits comfortably on my 6.5in wrist, band is very comfortable. Not too heavy but not extremely light like the Seiko 5s. Picked it up $61shipped with coupon off Jet.com which is a third party Amazon shopper site. Well worth the purchase. Now contemplating the SKX007 to round the collection out.

    The changeable weather doesn't really bother me too much but recently it's been been changing by the hour, I wore the Cardigan up until about 2pm then the sun came blasting out and I took it off, by 4pm I was in a polo shirt then from 6.30 the sky turned black and the rain came down hard heavy and fast. Of course with the UK being as it is someone 10 miles away may have had sun all day or rain all day. Today I have been in some ob shorts, flip flops and an ob t shirt sat out nearly all day so far crazy weather. It's hard to plan your wardrobe and things such as summer knitwear or light summer jackets just don't seem to get worn.

    I love when people say "summer jackets" :)) that idea is so foreign to us in the tropics, it sounds like a joke :)) the weather you are describing is a Florida winter :))

    I can imagine, I sometimes wonder how poor old Daniel Craig coped in morrocco in that Matchless or in Haiti in the Y3? Saying that I plan to travel to my upcoming holiday in the Matchless outfit.

    By no means an exact match for the Bahamas arrival shirt from CR, this nevertheless cuts a similar figure:

    Nice outfit. The jacket looks pretty good. The color appears spot on but on their website it looks a bit darker.
    I may have to pick one up. That's the beige, right? They offer it in tan as well that's why I ask.
