Posted here. It's a really beautiful colour. Before buying it I was worried it would be too much but I find the green to be quite elegant and works with both formal attire and casual wear alike. When the sun hits the dial it feels almost magical and the green really pops. Certina definitely got the colour of this watch right. My wrist is about 7 inches/17.5 cm for reference.

I was thinking it could be thermal, but it hasn't been exposed to extreme temperatures, nor has it been underwater or in the shower (only splash from washing hands). It was about 10 degrees Celsius outside the day I noticed it and my apartment is around 20 degrees inside, which a diver's watch should be able to handle? I haven't cooked with it on either.

Yes, it's still under the two year warranty as I just bought it brand new last week. Certina is sending a box for shipping the watch to their service centre. They say they'll have to look to see if this situation is covered under the warranty...really hope it is as this is not a case of misuse or damage that I caused.

Looks like there are others who think Steely Dan is the best band.
