Bad pics but great watch, the two red cogs aren't red, it's a reflection in them.........

I'm looking too...... Cousins have generic rolex ones for

Right here's the latest, camera: fuji s5600 lighting: 5 x 60w bulbs in living room now using tripod flash turned off whiskey has run out! lager: 3 pints background: black pillow settings: all on auto apart from macro/self timer/highest res ( but not the 11MB raw mode! ) & no flash processing : used photoshop pro's auto correct and cropped it a bit The only thing I am miffed at is that even though the auto focus cross hairs where over the watch, the camera still favoured the guitar, then again at getting on for 4 times the cost I think I favour the guitar too......and don't you just love birds eye maple ? Pete

first attempt with new camera, only had half hour to play with it, hope to get more time soon.......... I suspect I was a bit too close. Watch is from PT.

Thanks everyone......... Haven't had time to play with the camera for long, been churning the garden up with a ride on mower! Anyway, here's my first attempt, hand held and using a 55w torch for lighting..........

Looking at the gold one, what does £600 dogtooth hologram face mean ? Pete

I'm 31 in hexadecimal.......sounds much better that way. Scored a Fujifilm S5600 off my wife this morning so I should be able to improve on my photos once I've found my way around it. Pete

Uses bluetooth to get caller id of incopming calls from your mobile then displays the callers number on the lcd Fossil caller id watch cool ? Pete

I tried to put this in the knowledgebase area but it wouldn't allow me to. Feel free to move this somewhere more appropriate. I came across this site today, this guy has made his own watch and shows all the steps including cutting his own gears, he did borrow a balance wheel but the rest is his, I'm amazed.............. Hand made watch Don't suppose anyone knows him ? Pete

Whilst this subject is being discussed.............. Back in the early watchmaking days before electronic timers where available, how did they check the beat or perhaps they didn't ? Puzzled Pete

Eeeesh! All the watches where cancelled for about 3 days but now the Cartier has returned, read the description, it has the date on the phone ? whooops Pete

Look at his other items for sale, the Tag Huer isn't doing very well but the GMT Master is racing away.... Pete

Soooooooo, back to the original question then. Does anyone know which file to buy from Cousins in the UK ? I've seen plenty of cheap sets but they only have triangle and flat files in them at that size. Thanks...... Pete

Ubi, I'm not planning on touching the case just the endlinks of the bracelet. Bending the bar doesn't help as the prob is right at the end , the body of the bar is up against the hole through the bracelet so the pin in the end is about 1mm too far back from the hole in the case, it's so annoying to see it there on the edge but no manner of persuasion will get it in, the other end is actually in ! so unless I can buy a suitable file ( which will give me a consistant hole through the bracelet making it more secure, I'll have to keep nibbling at it with my non-dremmel dremmel! Pete

I bought a new bracelet for my dd but can't fit it because the hole through the bracelet is a midges [censored] too far from the watch, with a loupe you can see the springbar end half over the hole but that's the limit as the thicker middle part of the bar is up against the bracelet. I reckon if I make the hole oval by 1 mm then it'll go on, btw I tried a thinner springbar but still no go, even the orig bracelet is a sod to put back on. So, I got out my rep dremmel ! and a small grinding stone , spins at 15million rpm in free air but drops to anything between 200rpm and zero the second it touches the metal , so I thought a 2mm dia needle file would be a better idea, looked on Cousins site and they give the length and the cutting no. but no idea of dia does anyone know which would be suitable ? I assume 0 is coarse and 4 is fine but how wide a hole does it make ? Cousins files BTW Cousins sent me a flyer last week with pictures of their range of asian movements, all reasonably priced too.
