I like the display back on the PRS 516. Looks like a C7 auto caseback
.
Back to work today, so wearing this one. One of my favorite beaters. Playing with the macro lens a bit:

So nice, I truly regret not buying an Islandus when the Icelandic economy tanked!

I had to attend a funeral today where everyone was asked to wear pink in honor of the deceased.
I pulled out this one to match my shirt and tie. I am not sure I have ever worn this one before.
My wife was stunned that I had a watch to fit the occasion. I had picked up this Limited Edition German built Nkiru Jump hour automatic a few years back.
