Hear hear!

Good to see a whole bunch of Sydneysiders here.

Mrs Bean's personal rep collection includes a PAM049, PAM111H, Brietling Navitimer(white dial) and Omega PO 42mm black w/ orange numerals. Next on her list of wants is the "pretty watch" PAM024 and the B&R 01-92 (yellow). I'm a lucky man.

Doing decal using Alps printer was my first avenue of thought, I was advised that I may need to apply (airbrush) a coat of clear matt varnish to help reduce the possibility of seeing the edges of the decal. Any thoughts on that Dudemeister? How noticeable would the edges be?

I had a local printer (pad printer) do this one off dial for me. There must be one in your local area I would imagine. Just look for those little outfits that do corporate goodies. Pens, cups, etc.

Very nice E, as always . Now to fill the other 2/3 with more beauties.

Thank you all for your honesty, it's what I asked for and expected. As you will read in my opening post I too believe it too busy and stitch heavy. And as the majority thinks the same I will not be turning these babies out in the 100s. Instead I will stick with what appeals to my tastes. Thanks again. Bob My Taste albeit a bit soft on the focus

Personally I don't get the post 1970s Ingenieur, before they redesigned (mid '70s) it was a stunning classic. The Rolex Milguss is another one that I find dull and boring.

They just make me giggle. Still now when I look at them I giggle. Flies on a towel tanning, bad acrobatics and the first 2 in line for the diving board are having a natter. I love it Gives then a life, a touch of humanity.

I thought I'd try some stitching on a butter-soft strap to see how it wears. For me, this type of strap it way too much and I prefer a simple stitched strap. So I thought I'd ask you all for your opinions. Would you wear this type of strap? Do you like "heavily" stitched straps? All thoughts and opinions appreciated. Cheers as always, Bob (Overlook the faults as it's a prototype!)

First go with 50 yr old Swiss ammo . I love it.

Just watch Mr DBs post count grow. If your very quiet you will hear it grow.

Dingle-who?
