Is it the stock crown?

Any other thoughts about my little dilemma?

R...this is a great video on controlling reflection and specular highlights when using natural lighting. And this would definitely apply if you were using flash or monolights as well.

Looking good Ubi! If you have a chance, can you post a set-up shot? We can help you out a little easier if we see what you are using to accomplish the shot.

Beauty Ubi! Looks quite a lot like Chieftang's FM watch. I love that watch!!! Was it hard sourcing the parts for this one?

Wow!!!!!! That is stunning. Well done Andei and great story!!!! You matched everything up perfectly!!! That is one of the best looking vintage 1675's I have ever seen. Bravo!

I don't know about that watch, but the forum you linked to is classic!

Brilliant and very, very well done! One of my all time favorites there! Congrats!!!

Haha! Nice K! I am just getting to that Unit now! I started doing Lighting 102 in the beginning of Jan. @Ubi - all trial and error my friend, but those domed crystals wont make it easy on you, that's for sure. You will want to change the apparent light size so the watch sees one big light. Then adjust the watch to minimize the reflection in the dial. A shoot thru umbrella makes for a great diffuser and they are quite reasonable in cost. Similar concept to BT's suggestion of using a light box with mulitple lights. The worst one for me is the cyclops on the submariners.

Thanks Ubi. What is that crown in that photo? It has way more rubber seals on it than what mine has!

Interesting....so is the case-tube easily removed? Is the case-tube from T a little thicker, pushing the crown away from the case slightly? Thanks for the tip rolli!

Here's a couple of shots of the case assembled. Is the crown too close to the case do you think? Here are a couple of pics of the current rubber gaskets that are inside the crown itself.

Just noticed that myself too! That's pretty interesting! Please help here guys! PAM is all disassembled ready for some tweaking

Would love it if you would share a review of what your thoughts were once you have a taste!

I believe there is an issue with the A7753 as the date wheel is not exactly in line with the ETA version so it probably wouldn't work. There was a big write up about it when the A7753 came out for the chrono PAM's.

Beauty R! Looking forward to the final result! Are you going to go for a nice rivet bracelet for this one?

+1 on the BMW X5 or X6. Both great looking SUV's and a much better service report from the people that I know that have owned or currently own one.

Agreed with Concepta. I have a friend who has the Range Rover Sport and it has been a lot of trouble (especially given the costs of ownership). There are far better choices out there for similar or less money IMHO.

That is stunning! Is that the original dial color, or has it aged slightly?

Awesome!!!

Great to have you back Phoband and glad to hear you are doing so much better! Still rocking that green pen you sold me and it still gets compliments to this day!

Welcome back Phoband!

Never seen a white dial submariner, but the one in the pics has aged beautifully! That tritium lume looks amazing!

WOW!! I agree with asimplefarmer! That white dial is just gorgeous!!!

Mmmmm....... Yummy
