The new hands are shorter. The minute hand no longer touches the chapter ring. I believe the sweep hand is the same though. Still the best aftermarket 6538 hands out there, but a shame that he no longer uses the same supplier/design

The Olloclip is excellent value compared to some other alternatives. But I find holding a 10x triplet loupe against the iPhone lens and zooming in marginally almost as good. But very nice pickup dtm. The Olloclip is a lot of fun

Gotta be in it to win it. I believe my downside is next to zero.

Macros. Case reshaped, beveled, rebrushed, polished, aged.. etc.. Before: After:

Very nice. Glad you got it finally assembled and on your wrist. Wear it well my friend.

I use this with a mini buffing wheel:

No lugholes. Pass.

Mother and daughter together. 6636 on the BC, and 7206 on the 5513:

Oops. You're right that is my 5513 there. I think I wore it same day I took those pics.

Nice watch Cubeistan!

It is. Thanks

Almost all my pics are with my iPhone 6+. For macros, I may use my olloclio, but usually too lazy to take the phone out of its case, so I simply hold a 10x loupe and press it firmly against the case and zoom in just enuff to crop out the visible area of the loupe. But you are right, good lighting is key in any photography. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I dunno.... Maybe it is a rep. You tell me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Walked in here at lunch: Walked out 30 minutes later with these: I really wanted the cloth-bound Patek catalog, but they only had one copy.... Maybe next year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Since RWG was down all weekend, managed to work on the 6538 on Sunday. Replaced the newer CWP with older ones that I acquired recently. They slightly more period correct with the longer minute hand that now touches the chapter ring. The hour hand is abut loose and I will have to get it repaired/rebroached this week. The bevels were marginally recut on the case and I installed a gen 6636 expanding rivet bracelet. When I bought it, the clasp was an incorrect USA C&I clasp. I was thinking of sending it to Michael Young to swap in the correct Swiss Gay Freres 6636/7206 clasp, but decided to tackle the surgery myself. The patient survived the transplant I'm happy to report. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
