I took a few minutes today to get some photos of my newly-acquired Flying B, courtesy of member capital10.
Please excuse the many reflections of the front of my house in the pics (usually in the bezel); I snapped them on the front porch in a hurry. :lolcina:

This has been my grail watch ever since I first learned of its existence. Actually I wanted the blue dial, but now I believe the white dial is a better fit. After all, I intended it to be a dress watch. I didn't realize how THICK it was, but it still fits under my cuffs just fine.

On to the pics!

Here it is next to my 111H for size comparison. It doesn't look to be any bigger, but as you'll see in the photos following this one, it's wrist presence is HUGE.

Remember when I said it was thick?? That's one massive chunk of steel.

Hope you liked them.

Yep, I had just gotten home from the gym and had to get the pics done before my wife got home and started asking why I hadn't done the dishes or laundry yet!

That's huge! Compared to the Pam, it actually looks longer.

That's because it IS much longer. Even these photos do not convey the size of this thing. However, it doesn't wear that big, at least for me. I'm very happy with it so far. :)

MAN, that's beautiful!
I love the Flying B and have been pulling myself away from the gen. The blue is my choice as well, but you're right - this white one is very classy.

That IS a massive hunk of steel, A. How much does that thing weigh? I'm gessing about 195 g's.

Great amount of details on the dial... macho dress watch.
Rep is closing up the gap.

Huge chunk of metal is an understatement, A.! That's thing's a graceful, elegant monster. Nice shots; and, no, I didn't notice the shirt or the car. AGE, heh!
