My wife bought the CZ ring because we have been married for so long she feels uncomfortable without wearing one. I understand your comment about not buying one just to ward off advances because doesn't help. My beautiful wife is approached regardless of whether she has a ring on. (As I'm sure you would be too) Luckily am always with her to chuckle at their efforts.
As far as camera dropped in the water, the replacement came this week. How stupid am I bringing my brand new camera on a beach walk instead of my one that was waterproof that I left in room safe? D'oh!
