| + | [* black] The other band slot features …nothing at all, so our photo editor indulged in a bit of tech fantasy and added a combination lock—as if opening the case could be so easy. Alas, we expect the same ol' opening procedure we perform [guide|113044|every|stepid=216162|new_window=true] [guide|126205|year|stepid=243599|new_window=true]. |
