Please do not requote an entire set of pics just to add a line or 2 at the bottom.

That would help, but I would read the 'Macro' chapter in your camera's owner's manual 1st. Once you figure that out, you would have clearer pics, the lack of which is the biggest impediment keeping people from seeing the fine details of your watch. Note that most of my pics are taken with this 2002 4MP point-&-shoot

This is a common question, for which there is a single answer - read your camera's owner's manual (so you know what features your camera has & how to use them) & the tutorials in the Photography forum & practice, practice, practice. Taking good pictures is just like driving a car. Once you know how to work the controls, it just takes practice until their operation is 2nd nature so you can concentrate on the task & not the technology behind it.

You should visit the Photography forum & learn how to do Macro pics.

Oyster, as God (& Rolex) intended.

I would go with a bracelet, but your hard work & passion show in this piece.

And still later that day..............

chevall - Are you trying to purchase a plain box without the Rolex name on it?

World Time is Phong. His son works for him, especially when Phong is in Asia on buying trips.

It is not polite to requote all the pics in a previous post just to add a line or 2 at the bottom. Try editing out all the pics if there is text or edit out all but 1 pic. Looks like it may be time to start another classic car/bike thread

Looks like I am starting the wristies again

I am sure that happens (Watchmakers within the Rolex network fitting aftermarket parts to Rolex watches), but I think it is far more the exception rather than the rule. For decades, Rolex has prohibited the installation of non-Rolex parts in their watches. In fact, there have been numerous court cases over the years brought against Rolex by indy watchmakers or consumer organizations in efforts to stop Rolex from restricting their ability to engage in 'free trade' on behalf of owners & customers. To the best of my knowledge, none of these types of cases have been successful. So if 1 of your indy's customers even happen to have another Rolex watchmaker work on their watch (likely), at the very least, he would lose his account. At least, that is the word I hear from reliable sources within the network.

Ditto. I would add that things are so tough now that Rolex US will revoke the parts account of any watchmaker within their official network who is caught selling parts - new or used. This is new & I fear it will soon become Rolex SA policy as well.

As long as it goes into his mouth, you are probably safe. But when he starts putting them on his wrist, time to worry.

And later that day...................

Working early Saturday morning & wearing my '41

Well done & nice pics too.

He did a series of Rolex watches (the best, in my opinion, being the 116509), which are beautifully filmed, but very boring (assuming you are still watching after the 1st minute or so).

Once Yuki restocks, ask him to install 2mm springbars for you. They are mediocre quality, but at least you will not have to risk mangling the bracelet by fitting them yourself. And, by the way, Yuki originally told me that the factory will correct the end links (to fit the correct springbars) for the next shipment. This was a couple of years ago, so you might want to check with him to see if this is still the plan.

The age appropriate 6251H/55

Not anymore.

My '41 (right) has an MQ dial (I replaced the crown with a gen, painted the index markers & gave it a bit of my usual enhanced patination treatment)

Just humming along

Looks like the current, standard fare Daytona rep to me. The thin cases have a small shelf below the crown & oddly shaped CGs (both of which can be reshaped correctly) & this does not look like that. You can search out my 'Perfect Daytona' thread, which has pics & additional details for identification.
