Intentional or otherwise, it's a great theme. Diastar CC for me, not often seen, if ever, these days.

Diastar CC for me.

Thanks guys.
The Diastar CC is such a unique piece. I'd love one with the iridescent dial, but it has jewels for markers.

We do indeed have many, many magpies. Only one species, the black billed magpie lives here. I have a lot of respect for their intelligence, but they are at the bottom of my list or corvids around here. This year, I have a pair of blue jays in the yard. They are distantly related to magpies, but not as smart. With their arrival in my yard this year my favourite to least favourite urban resident corvids are thus- ravens, crows, jays and then at the bottomof the barrel, magpies.

We had magpies nesting in the hedge outside our house last year.
I wasn't happy at all about it, as they used to nip into the garden to take baby sparrows and blackbirds.
This emphasised my hypocrisy as I'm perfectly happy to see a Sparrowhawk or Kestrel do exactly that.

Cheers. Both top ten watches here.

After my Manhattans last week, I've got to go with the transluscent black dial Manny.

Cheers Hank , I thought you might choose this. You are full of fun facts this week and in honour of that, I'm picking the Nienaber this week.
