    I really like that Precista case shape ... similar ones were made by Sinn and Tutima.

    That is one watch that I'd like to see a re-edition of ... :)

    The Kimber company went bust but has now resurrected and makes high quality handguns for those so inclined.

    Their "gimmick" is to make seimi-custom handguns with features that other firms charge a leg an an arm for.

    You do ofcourse pay more but not as much as some custom gun manufacturers charge and you get features in a "stock" Kimber that you would have to make a special order for else where.

    Other gunmakers like Wilson, Nowlin and Clark charge way more for their products. There is a quality jump from Kimber and up to the others but Kimber has the right idea.

    Kimber also has a custom shop that in effect works like the aforementioned custom gunmarkes, i.e. they make guns on special order with customer ordered features.

    Kimber has totally changed the industry and changed the way other gunmakers do business. Kimber is a succes story and the firm is doing very very well.

    I am guessing that it is either a Tactical Custom II or Tactical Pro II beneath the watches. Difficult to see the length of the slide.

    The one in the back might be either a Stainless II, Compact Stainless II, Stainless Pro Carry II, Stainless Ultra Carry II but is most likely one of the Eclipse family. Again, it is difficult to see but I will go with it being an Eclipse because of the black "beavertail" (beavertail is the safety on the back of the grip where the web of your hand go), the Novak sights and the shape of the cuts in the slide.

    Quaint custom, that of taking pics with guns and knives. Not legal in this neck of the woods but must be a product of the liberal american gun laws.

    .......nice watches too!

    The Yema appears to share the same case as the Precista and Tutima divers from 1988/89.
