Awesome and mega awesome watch man! Reminds me of the one that my great grandfather had! Classic! Now don't take my compliment the other way thinking "damn my watch looks so old"..Non tech stuff. New shoes and my first mechanical watch.

I do tend to like designs that have a bit of an "old look".Yep, it is a 42mm version of the seagull 1963. Better pictures and other variations here.

I bought from a reseller mentioned in this thread. I paid $220 + shipping.

There is a 38mm version which looks quite nice as well.
A gif of the mechanism I made today. Accuracy is rated at +-10s/day. 30-40 hour power reserve. Crappy strap though. Have to buy a new one.

This came in yesterday evening. Sourced it off eBay. The eBay listing did not specify that they are bundling a carry bag and a 4GB SD card. I went ahead and placed an order for a Lowepro bag from Flipkart (promptly cancelled it since FK did not ship it yet!). The bundled card was a Sandisk Ultra Class 6 4 GB card whereas I had placed an order for a Sandisk Extreme Class 10 8 GB card.
I haven't touched the bundled 18-55 kit lens since I had also sourced the 50mm Canon lens. This lens is such a beauty! Superb bokeh even with crappy snaps. Take a look below:
This cam would replace my aging Panny FZ18 which lasted me for over 5 years now. It was sourced thru KMD from the US and other than a battery change, it never required any service. Besides, this camera was the ONLY thing with me that was Made in Japan!

I wish I can Anil but time's very short nowadays. I've got no time to clear off my backlogs leave alone review a device. Moreover, it's been a long time since I reviewed anything. Lost touch of it. Regardless, if I get something to review, I shall definitely consider it.
@Black_Hawk - Going home this weekend. Got a few weddings and one of them is at Alleppey. I guess we may be able to do some boatriding in the backwaters.
Hehe the two were greeting each other with a hug. Nothing more!

Yes C1 & C2 are programmable. C2 actually has 3 submodes (accessible via the OSD after setting the dial to C2).
The body is definitely smaller than your entry level T3i/D3100. However, I still plan on grabbing a EPM2 as a pocketable walkaround camera once I find a deal on it (should be easier with the recently announced EP5). The good thing for a deal hunter like me (and bad for early adopters) is that m43rds bodies seem to be losing value real fast. The GX1 for example is currently available for $199/- (body only).
PS - Why brave, the G5 is a VERY good camera?
