Natural element

Sort of. Actually just a neighborhood park for the kids that has a sand volleyball court but looks like it could be at the beach. As we’re getting into the summer season this gets a lot more wear. Like those perpetual calendars below, feel like you get a

U-N Acqua Marine Perpetual -- a Census please...

I know at least a half-dozen of us have one of these watches ... out of a total population of 500, how many can we muster? Blue enamel changes colors around other blue enamel items. They seem to speak to one another on some sort of color wavelength. First

There was also this rarity. Made in an edition of 99pcs.
