Very hard to capture the texture of the dial, close as I can get for now, it's crazed but very uniformly, rather fun!!

Hi everyone I've been playing around with different strap options for my 055 (with Rolli/FGD dialset) and wanted to share some pictures; my first choise is still the tantalium but the darker browns are also nice to vary with ) On to the pics!

Just past midnight & wearing my Phase I '42

OK, I’ll probably get bashed in here for this by the ‘purest’ , but I’d thought I would give My personal assessment of the new Apple Watch (for me). So I’ve had my new watch for 3 days and so far, I’m glad I bought it. I’ve seen many posting on different forums on people bashing anyone who would buy one. They spout-off many different reasons like these: High Price – Well most of us in here have spent Way more than this on a watch, including me. I’ve spent 5x as much on just a Stainless-Steel watch (Super Franken 16610) and that does nothing more than tell time. But I don’t’ care, it’s what I like. The battery will die, then what – Just like any other Apple product, it will be replaceable. If not by Apple, there will be plenty of 3rd parties offering this service. I’ve already seen the Break-down video of the watch and the battery will be replaceable. I already have a Smartphone, why do I need a Smartwatch - Well for Me at least, I’ve already found that I can keep my phone either on my desk or in my pocket without looking at it. Now that may not be a convenient you want or need for the cost of the watch. But it is nice not needing to use the phone for most of my day. It will be obsolete in the next 12-18 months – Really, I don’t see why. Sure, Apple will come out with a newer model with more features, but so what. Don’t new watches come out every few years, or upgraded one’s. Do you feel you Must have the new one when it does? The way I see it, my Apple Watch will do tomorrow, everything it still does today and even more with additional 3rd party applications. So for me (so far) I love my new watch. Yes, to me it is a watch! I’ve loved watches all my life and I consider myself as a watch purest, but I also still consider the Apple watch, a watch. It’s a different kind of watch, but since it still tells time, it’s a watch. Plus it does so much more and for me, it’s worth having. We’ll see down the road if I’ve changed my mind in any way and if so, I will post another update. But so far I like it. I can control which emails I want to know about and then take a quick look at it, without pulling out my phone. I can reply too if needed. I can receive, send and reply to text messages without the phone. I can even make & receive phone calls. Now granted the speaker is small and not the highest quality sounding, but it is usable while driving and the person on the other end said I sounded just find too. Yes I know, I still have to have the iPhone with me (within Bluetooth range) but that’s ok to me. Besides, since the watch can’t do Everything the phone can, your still goanna need one. At least for now until technology improves more. BTW, I bought the 42mm Stainless Steel with the Milanese loop band. Dave...

I think this piece is one of those builds that is constantly evolving for me. I've made a number of revisions to this watch over the years; this one is (in my mind) finally edging ever closer to being finalized (methinks)... I managed to score one of those new, Rolli/FGD 201/A dials from Ogladio, who was an absolute gent and a great pleasure to work with! He zipped these parts over the Atlantic to get them in my hands in very short order; having rec'd them this morning, I went to work quickly as I was quite excited and very anxious to have these goodies before my eyes! I managed to modify the hands and get everything installed while on a conference call for work Don't think I heard a word of what went on during the call, but I did manage to enjoy the process of doing a little watch work, which I have to admit I have not done in quite some time. Anyways... On to some pics... You'll have to excuse me on these as they are a mix of DSLR and cell phone images. And... There aren't too many images either, I'm afraid. I was already multitasking enough as it was! Gorgeous dial! It's got a nice, semi gloss/semi matte finish, though it appears more matte in this pic than it really is! Modded hands... Edges and center opening given a bit of a rub to expose some brass On to business... Side by side with my Steph_Dexter prototype dial; also a great dial in it's own right! Buttoned up... That 6... Thanks for looking! //ubi

Technically this was today, 12:45am!

I really like that Seiko.

Congrats if you like it - that's all that matters.

The Mario Paci tantalum Kodiak (khaki tan) in your first picture. Perfect with titanium and tobacco. http://www.tcstraps.com/collections/original-kodiak/products/prevmp_tantalum_ss Heres a similar strap on Rollis epic 036

I'm wearing this bad boy on a makeshift 9315 strap until I can get the real one.

Messing around with different inserts, I have to find a pearl with some seriously dark patina!

Something a bit newer today - and waterproof since it's raining. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pfffffft. See, that case says "steal me, I'm full of expensive stuff". Here's MY watch box, which also doubles as a watch winder. Nobody's gonna steal one of these.
