Just in, thank you Rolojack!! love it, I know it's not perfect and the hands are wrong but it's stunning just the way it is imo. I'm building a true to gen version with gen service dial and hands, gen movement and Phong case etc.. This one and you certainly inspired me to do that but I promise I will enjoy this one just as much!!

Have a safe flight Micky, see you at The Terminal. AJ

Ok, so I am sick of having poor pictures and really do not want to invest in a high end camera I will have to learn how to use. So I finally broke down and bought an Olliclip attachment for my iPhone and a really good loupe. Here are a couple attempts in my office using the olliclip. Cleary it takes some practice.......

I wanted to share what I found the other day. A friend of a friend had this project that he has been collecting parts for over the years, he decided to give up and sell it to me! Actually it was a trade for my gmt ii c and a little extra cash. let me present to you the parts collected so far.. he did a good job except the gilt dial is in not so perfect condition, and it's really supposed to be a swiss only gilt dial for such an early piece. Not sure if I will keep it or try to find a swiss..

A: commando style Q greatest quote you ever heard ?

Holy crap, now those are MACRO shots!!!

Try to setup your camera for spot metering, that way you can erase the reflection.. You have to point the camera at dark items to lighten the pic and light items to darken it, find the sweet spot and half press the shutter to lock it (if that's how your camera is set up) or hold ae lock for the same effect, then reposition and focus and shoot, all while keeping the ae locked. That's how you get rid of reflections This is a little helpful It's all about the exposure imho http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/tip/2879/which-is-best-spot-center-weight-or-matrix-metering/

All V72-powered.

See you this afternoon Andy. Will be leaving here in a couple of hours.

That T38 surely gives the watch a different look.

You would be surprised, I've had gens for 15 years now. I can't speak for others but I like both. Actually when I say both I really mean franken's and gens, I don't like reps that have no gen parts, unless it's a very well done vintage Rollie that speaks to me. I like those for my vacations. I was so excited when I happened onto this forum a few years ago, the idea that I could build a watch that was unattainable in its gen form was a mind blowing experience. I've always had gens and I always will but I will also always be interested in this hobby. I've learned more in the past 3 years then I ever did in 12 years without this forum. Imagine how much more a car restorer (weather he uses some aftermarker parts or not) knows about a given car that he worked on compared to the guy who bought it from him.. That fuchsia insert came with the kit, I prefer all black but I really like this one too.

Velkommen til RWG!!

Cool! Looking forward to seeing what you can do with this.

This one would do

Or you could buy the regular iWatch and spray it gold. Somebody on youtube did it, lol

Good. I know it's an awful situation, but you both need this. If you want a beer later let me know.

Andy's going to take me straight to the hospital G, and I will stay with her that night.

I bought an Olloclip, thread here Having good luck with it so far! Neat gadget.

Finally I was able trek picture about real product. Installed to glossy red balck python cord. Pure white gold and 32 DF-VS diamonds.
