Holy Cow ! ! ! Is this Amazing Photo "Realistic"???
In Response To: SOMY *PIC* ()


Holy Cow!! If that thing gets seriously stuck on your wrist, it may be easier cutting through the wrist than cutting through the watch . . . awesome.

Would you say that this photo accurately conveys the difference in the sizes of these two watches, or is there some slight-of-hand / trickery / enhancement, to make the difference more pronounced? Yet again, I will attach my favorite "this-and-that" photo.
