I took a fall on ice this morning at my first job of the day. My left knee is jacked-up. I was walking across a long driveway to service 3 printers. There was light snow overnight so the ice underneath was hidden. Right foot slipped out, left stayed in place. I fell straight down as my left knee and leg bent underneath me. Both my arms were loaded with gear. Left knee nearly felt like it broke for a few seconds. I was eventually helped up by the plant manager there and a worker. I was screaming in pain. When I was sure I could walk, I did continue in and do the job. But I reported what happened to my employer and went home after to put the knee on ice. It has swollen some, and the kneecap is scraped and scabbed-up now. But this is nowhere near as bad as the fall that I had last year that put me out of work for a couple of weeks and crippled me for weeks after. I'm just still wearing my Seiko solar that I always wear for work. All of it's scratched and dinged glory. Don't worry, I have another quartz yet for tomorrow.  This is my first new photo in years of this watch (been wearing it daily for 10 years or so). I have my photo studio set up to be easily used sitting down with a mirrorless camera. |

Hope you feel better, Johan. That's a cool toothy bezel, and it's shrouded, too. I'm wearing The Original Mako, and probably going to wear it for a while as I try different straps. Today is plain navy blue textured leather.
Anyway, I like the Mako, but am more interested in their "Beasts".  |

Geez Louise, Chris....that sounds like a very nasty fall. Sure could have been a lot worse I suppose. Keep drinking that milk  Love the beater and a great shot btw. |
