Pugwash

Really? I think it looks like a gold moon watch.

What's your budget? Mine was $110 from Silix-Prime with a leather strap. You can pay more for better quality if you want. You need to wind it up. Grik-grik-grik.

Not very well, though.

Indeed. The last memorable thing the Norwegians did was 1000 years ago. A telling statement.

... and I'm off swimming again today and am reaching for this gorgeous watch:

A valuable lesson learned quickly.

Why haven't you kept the old modem plugged into the old phone line to fax like you always did? What changed?

Odd, but I'm not even shedding a tear.

No.

That rabbit is the late Oolong. He passed away in January 2003 after 2 years of fame as the rabbit with crap balanced on his head. Here is a selection of Oolong photos: http://www.gookalian.com/oolong/gallery/1

I recently saw a gold Big Bang in the flesh and it turned me around completely. I didn't like them when all I had seen was pictures. Sure, there are flaws on this one, like the screws, and it has faux chronos, but I see it as a harbinger of a 7750 version ...

Me too. I've got an SKX031 that I've posted pics of and an Orange Monster that's currently in the Seiko Service Centre, Bangkok as I bought it cheap without warranty and thought a cheap service would make it 100%. Can't wait to get it back.

mmm ... tasty.

I had to guess at the lume colour. Was it close enough?

The picture was high enough quality with enough data to do that. A worse picture would have been a lot more difficult, which is why I said to LittleMe that his pictures were a good way of the way there.

My pic? It's yours given a 2 minute photoshop fix. Your photo is clear enough to be fixed, which means you've got a chunk of the technical stuff sorted. Dark reflector? Get a black bit of card (a hardback book without the cover works well, I find) and put it in a place that reflects black into the dial. It removes reflections from the crystal much easier than any other method. If you can't manage that, use my short dial photoshop tutorial to have the same effect.

You've got enough light and diffusion going on correctly. All you need to do is manage the colour balance, like Phoband said, and put a dark reflector in front of the dial and you're minutes away from this:

I use anything between 2x12w spot and 3x60w spot. It seems to work ok for me; maybe you have too much light.

Neither has the right bezel, but the first is closer. The second has better hands though.

Source, as in single source?

It depends if you're lying to her about other stuff too. I'd never dream of getting Mrs Pugwash a counterfeit anything and passing it off as gen as that way madness lies.

You know it.

A hint too red/pink, but not too dark. Keep at it, I never tire of seeing your frankenwatches. Look after that 16610

Is it wrong to actually kinda like this watch?
