Thanks man, never had a cell phone use autofocus like this.

The Brown came with the watch. The black I purchased today at my AD.

Sure does, Doug. (I kinda like the brown a bit more...;-))

Great quality on the camera phone, by the way.

Did the watch come with the deployment clasp as well?

Thanks man....love modern technology. I take the photos, upload them to Flickr off the phone, then when I hit a PC I can copy them in b-)

Sure does, Doug. (I kinda like the brown a bit more...;-))

Thing I like about having both colors is the versatility. No deployment clasp on either....a simple SS Buckle.

Interesting. I am going to look into getting one of those.

Any AD should be able to order them for you. Very comfortable straps, thick by the lugs, but thins out enough to offer a very comfortable flexibility, so they break in real easy.

I like em!!! both!

For sure. Does look like a completely different watch when you switch the bands.

Doug - I understand what you feel. As I change straps on my Panerai, the look changes as well. X-Wind is a great watch! :-!

Some more photos just for comparison purposes, I REALLY like Hamilton's straps.

And the Buckle with the Hamilton H strategically placed ;-)

And another little quality inclusion is both keepers are integrated in so they dont slip off....
