I think this impression is more due to the fabric being less stiff than some others. The cut's probably very similar. I've had the same experience with other Copelands. The shoulders are very square and they look better when undersized just so.

RE: Scuba anyone?
Puffer fish are cute when they're small, but they get very, very big, and then they're not cute at all.
I've been enjoying my diving in Puerto Valera's, Philippines (Sabang really). Many firsts for me. After saying I was done with uw photo, I decided to put my iPhone in a Divevolk case and take uw videos. It's a bit bigger than a GoPro but much better, and smaller than my previous set up for a still camera. I'm very happy with the results. Now comes the hard work of culling the vids, and editing the good bits. Last dive of the trip in 1hr (night dive) and then I make my way back to Seattle.

The Seamaster 300 "summer blue" is a very attractive piece I find. I'm not in the market for a dive watch at this time, but if I were this would be a strong contestant.

Made the Ottolenghi's coconut dream cake again, this time as a 2-layer round cake. Just as good as a sheet cake, but looks better.

RE: TV
If anyone is interested in space, the Apple TV show "For All Mankind" is excellent. It's basically high quality TV drama taking place in the universe of NASA (initially) but in an alternate history where the Russians arrived first on the moon. What is cool is that the writers (who clearly love NASA and the early space exploration history) use this event as a device causing NASA to become a lot more aggressive and risk taking. So this results in more space exploration but also more daring choices in terms of crews, including incorporating female astronauts a lot earlier than in real life. There are key male characters, but also some bad ass female lead roles including a NASA engineer, an astronaut, and an astronaut wife-turned-entrepreneur. I'm loving it.

The heart shaped Le Creuset is much older. I pretty much only use it on Valentine's Day. It's not the most practical shape tbh.

RE: Watches - another OCD problem
@jeffrx - I love MOP dials. Note that your Sinn also exist in Tahiti black MOP, which can be quite dramatic and maybe would work better on your skin.
I was at the Rolex AD downtown, and they have a lovely model with a MOP dial and diamond markers. A bit feminine, but not too much. They also had the black dial Tudor Pelagos FXD, which contrary to the limited blue dialed one has a unidirectional bezel. Might well be one of the best available dive watch.

10 years ago I would have loved that watch. Right now at 52 I wouldn't be able to see the details without my glasses...
