I'd say a 1675 is a must for every Rolex guy, isn't it? I'm so glad she finally is at my wrist like this. The need to have a 1675 was the reason why I started with reps

Well...another night with me and I'm all she wants now and forever

pfff...my 1675 loves me...that's enough

Weeks or even month ago she had been on my wrist but with some slight problems. I decided not to introduce her to you guys unless she is without any problems...now the time has come I proudly present...my 1675 (work done by dutchguy2 ) Specs: Cartel 1655 case CGs shaved A2836 gmt Ingod dial relumed by dutchguy2 Yuki hands Yuki 1675 case back Clark bezel assembly Gen 116 plexy Gen inlay Rafflestime Jubilee Runs like a champ and doesn't want to get off of my wrist

Many thanks

...almost every picture except for the garden pictures were done in the NL

Actually this has to be called a SuperFranken or Genenstein rep And I have to say that I don't like it...

Gardenpictures...I was just playing around with a new old glas (Soligor 85-205 3. I received yesterday...man...that's a backflash...one has to do everything manual...but I'd say the results are worth it

Didn't mention date alignment (now on both )... But hey...if it's a cheapy it's a cheapy

Well...the rehaut is pretty wokky and a 16710 never ever had any rehaut engraving!! To visible for me I'd say

Word!

Truly a nice watch!! But I don't get it...you are out and about to sell all your franken and just bought this one here last weekend...makes no sense for me

TC once had a YM bracelet maybe he iRU already has one of these in his box

:|...sounds like the beginning of a zombie movie...really curious what happend there in sweden...

Well...I'd say that's not lume...they dropped wax into the markers...at least this is how it looks to me

Well...I guess if that virus caught you once there is no way to get rid of it ...same as with watches Here are three more of my all-time favourites...they aren't high qualitiy photographs but I love the mood they convey (all done in Julianadorp aan Zee, Netherlands) . .

...I had been in martial arts years ago (25 years ago to be precise ). I am a Judo black belt 1st Dan, I have a brown belt in Taek-won-do and a green belt in Ju-Jutsu and Karate. From what I can see and from my own experience (as far as I remember) that guy is doing it all wrong...so wrong...even an orange belt would (and should) do it better!!! And to your experience Mike...a martial arts artist won't ever be offensive...if he's doing so then he's nothing more than a pub fighter...not worth to call himself martial arts artist. Martial arts is a lot more than fighting...I would say it isn't fighting at all...it's a way of living plus the ability to defend onself and other in case words won't help any more!!

Congrats mate...a nice build and a nice story too But...what about the bezel fitment (to case)...looks weird on this pic...

Me too That waving seal is a special attraction at the Ecomare on Texel. If one is somewhere near Texel one has to get there...it's always worth a visit

Well...getting some nice pictures (about 200) and some really good ones (about 20) out of something around 2k pix (the usual amount of pictures I take during a 2 week holiday ) I won't call "having skills" but thanks anyway

Finally I'm back on track I always loved to take pictures (not to call it photography)...I started 1979 with an Agfamatic 4000 which I got from my parents, switched to an Olympus Superzoom somewhere in the 80s and got my first SLR, a Canon EOS 500, in 1994. With that Canon I took a lot of pictures, did a lot of "experiments" and spent a lot of money for getting 30 crap pictures out of a 36 picture film But taking the pictures has always been a lot of fun and some where good enough to keep'em 2001...Digital Photography caught my attention and I sold my Canon to be able to buy an Olympus C-2500 L...what a Camera!! Build in zoom from 36-110mm, 2.5 Megapixel, look and feel of a real SLR and able to take a 500MB CF minidrive Great...but...one day in 2003 I saw the pictures from my dad in law and was flashed. Clear, nice and 4MP...35-140mm plus 3.6x digital zoom...and all that with a camera half the size of mine...I got to have it And finally I got it...back to Canon, a Canon G3...I really loved that camera...so much that I bought the G5 once it was on the market somewhere in 2004 I did thousands of pictures with it and didn't thought about the need to have any other camera ever...but then my first kid, my daughter started to walk ...no way to get a good picture with the Canon...she was always out of focus once the camera was ready to make its picture...I need to have a DSLR!! So in 2005 I bought a Minolta D7D since my wife had a lot of Konica/Minolta stuff (flash and lenses). The Minolta has been fast enough to catch my daughter making her first steps and I had a lot of stuff to play with (50mm 1.2 static lense, 70-300 makro zoom, 28-200 travelzoom, 17-70 2.8-4 and some filters)... In 2010 my wife asked for a camera that is easier to handle and since we had all the Minolta stuff I sold the D7D and bought a Sony alpha 500. The was the best decision ever...I still was able to play around while she put the camera on auto with the 17-70 and took the pix her way Unfortunately that wasn't easy enough for my lovely wife and since the Sony had a defect I tried to find something easier but equal...worst decision ever made Never trust any review on the internet....I bought a Fujifilm Finepix HS30EXR just because of the nice reviews floating around and had been totally disappointed I was back in taking pictures and worse ones too...the experience was pretty bad for both of us and so the camera was just lying around... Then...about two weeks ago dutchguy2 told me about his new toy. He was so enthusiastic it lighted my fire too So I bought a Sony alpha 500 again...to sad I sold all the minolta stuff...something I remembered after I bought the Sony...all that was left is the 28-200 travelzoom and some filters...who cares I again have a very nice camera and we're able to continue our "lost" hobby And since this forum is about photography (or Krootofazie like my little one (3y) is calling it ) I'd like to show you some of my all time favourite (all done by myself with available light, no photoshop!!) . . . . . . . That's me sitting "on" the water and my middle one (have three kids) in front . . . . . . . .

I was intended to say NO thinking first only of my Rolex and Omega Frankens but I have to say yes since there is one rep in my box which doesn't need any mod. There is only one tiny little flaw (afaik) and that one is only remarkable when it's dark...so no "call out" here...the running seconds should be lumed but isn't... I'm talking about my 2007 IWC Cousteau Divers Chrono....this watch is what I call a superrep
