also doubles up as a watch winder?
In any event, very nice watch and I personnally prefer the SS version.

Now I managed to load something...
but not a full picture of my pet.
Anyhow, I changed my Pink Gold Reverso Grande GMT to a SS one. I am very happy with the new watch but still I am afraid that the Pink Gold one would look better in the wrist of my watch holder.
Or what do you think?

Animals killed for decoration...
....sorry, Kol, but if that's a recent taxidermy job, I can only shake my head.
Not very recent...
He was a cattle killer in one of the poorest areas in Africa. I took him on a trip when we were doing problem animal control.

Great choice, Kair!
Congrats – welcome back to the Reverso GTM club!
I really like your “watch holder”!

Thanks Blomman,
These Watch Holders are available in the darkest spots of Africa. Mine is from Muzarabani, Zimbabwe from the mountain area just before Zambezi Valley.

It does ont seem that this watch holder
also doubles up as a watch winder?
In any event, very nice watch and I personnally prefer the SS version.

Thanks grigo
For me RG is okay in some watches like in very slim dress watches. I really like i.e. my JLC Ultra Slim with brown dial and RG. However, in Reverso there is so much metal that there is simply too much gold visible and also the watch becomes unnecessary heavy. So I like this steel model much more.

As a Biologist
it always makes me sad to see such beautiful and gracious animal
turned into something like that

In a way I agree with you.
However, the nature and the balance between the human population and the animals is a very complex issue in Africa. I am not a Biologist, just a simple economist. However, I have studied wild life management in Africa and walked in the African bush two years of my life. That makes in total over 50 trips and in average 14 days per trip and again in average 8-10 hours per day. I have also spent long times in very remote places, sleeping in tents and observing the nature 24 hours per day.
What I can just say that even it is a pity, some of the great and beautiful animals must be shot. If there is interest and I have the time, I am more than pleased to explain this issue. In my earlier response I listed two main reasons why predators must be sometimes killed but one should also remember that some of the world's finest National Parks would not exist without hunting. A good example is Selous located in Tanzania. This park of 54,000 square km (bigger than Estonia which is 45,000 square km) is financed from the income coming from hunting.
Our world is a very complex place. But Africa is something very special when complexity is concerned.

From simple and pure
anthropogenic
point of view I could agree with you
but as a human being it still makes me sad.....
what to say some of as are hunters and some are prey

Every DECENT hunter feels sad when
shooting a noble animal. Without that kind of emotions, he's not called a hunter but a killer.
The best Professional Hunter I have ever met (and I have met many) holds a PhD in biology. He wrote his Thesis about the behavior of predator cats in Kalahari Desert. He loves the wild animals and he spend some two years with the lions, cheetah and leopards during his studies. He's a real lover of nature. He's my fellow PH and I'm proud to call him a Friend.

We could argue
from philosophical standpoint about hunter not being killer
but I think there is no need for that
moreover I think that all Biologists are in a way hunters .... hunters
for knowledge about Life using different means... laboratory experiments,
specimen sampling, molecular data analysis, more and more nowadays, and some even shoot animal in the process.
I know that Biologist that sampled 1000 butterflys for University collection is not lesser hunter than one
that killed Cheetah neither he has more moral right to do so.. what I just try to say
is that hunt resulting in taxidermy is not my cup of tea...but to each his own

A very stylish feline Kari...
I think the rose gold would look better on you, but not necessarily on your watch holder.
Very much enjoyed your post!
