Yeah, it's getting seriously weird to not have seen anything resembling snow yet. I saw a half dozen or so flaws a month ago and it was 60 yesterday. WTF.
I'm with Reks, I don't see what there is to not understand. Looks like a very nice watch to me.
Chris, sorry to hear about the issue and here's to hoping it doesn't break the bank.
Also posted in the coffee thread - 24hr sale at Old Bisbee - $5 off any 2lb or more order w/ code HOLIDAYS.
Of note - they have the excellent Bali Blue Krishna in stock.
I can't speak directly about the Kontact stuff but my luck with "flux removers" in general was very poor until I tried simple 90+% isopropyl alcohol. I think the alcohol was cheaper too.
Get the purest isopropyl alcohol that you can find in a decent quantity and several sacrificial tooth brushes. Lather, rinse, repeat until clean. Manage the waste appropriately.
