I have a bunch of different accounts. Each month a small amount is funnelled off from my current (main) account to these other ones. Each has a purpose. Am just about to drain my wedding account as we get married in May. Then I can put that account to good use saving for something else. Just be careful not to take so much from your main account that it leaves you struggling to pay your bills!

Love the decorated case back... Like a display case back.... Like a solid case back that convays information about the watch too.

I vote for all of the above.

How tight is too tight??

As much as I thought I'd hate a tight watch strap, I actually love it! I kept finding my wrist size was just in-between strap holes/bracelet links. Then I found that any amount of wobble of a watch on...
