BTW, HOughy, I have just had a look at the Yes Website to compare the colours in your watch to what is on the website. The colour of the moon crescent and moon circuit around the edge of the digital face appears quite yellowish in your photos, but on the website looks green. How does the colour look to you in the flesh?

Maybe when you go to the jewellers you might need to buy the wifey a pair of nice diamond earings to soften the blow

I need to take one or 2 links out - don’t know if I will tackle this myself or go to the jeweller?

Hi Houghy, Congrats on the Worldwatch! It's a beautiful thing isn't it ?!

I've resized three bands myself, once you know how to do it, it's not difficult, but does take a bit of care.

The link posts only come out only one way and not all the links can be removed. The instructions detail it all pretty well so if have a read and get comfortable with the process, you should be ok.

I had to experiment with mine a little to get it balanced right. Taking two links out of one side will leave the clasp in an unbalanced position. I think I removed two links from one side and one from the other, to get it balanced well for me.

Well I am a tad sad because I have blown all my savings on upgrades to the Mary Rose. I guess I am winning with the scope, but I would have loved to have a Yes watch for Christmas this year. I am beginning to save again, hopefully by March 2010 I will have my Inca watch!

HOughy, can't wait to see yours! Good luck with the suspense in the lead up to Christmas.
