Hi,

You have to upload the photos elsewhere, like flickr, imageshack, photobucket or tinypic.

Welcome to Seiko Club Singapore ;)

Nice MM, did you age it on purpose ?

I can't recall but the price is like $25 or something ? You can always call and ask, say you are referred from Seiko Club ;)

And welcome to the forum 8-)
