Thank you for this information. Much appreciated. Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

This is what I am worried about as my dial has the surrounds. I did see where some were successful using a higher cp like the h4 on a TC. But still worried about the crown position. If anyone can figure it out Matt can. Once the 1016 is back together I will send the 16750 and movement to him and we will find out...sooner or later I will find a gen anyways but be nice to have this one fixed up to sell down the road.

I stumbled into this guy's collection doing research on the big crown. Probably the most impressive collection in the world. Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

@nanuq. Mike Woods collection? Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

I picked up a Hamilton 2893 ETA the other day for my 16750 as I have had issues with the converted 2836. Runs Ok when hand wound but something's amiss with the auto mechanism. Does not keep running on the winder or the wrist without a hand wind. Occasionally the GMT hand get stuck at 7. Did some research and it looks like the CP will need to be raised to the h4 to work in my watch. Not sure about stem height either found mixed information on this. Hopefully it will work as it appears to be a nice movement in very good condition and was relatively inexpensive.

Thanks cc. I can change exposure and some other settings after the pic using my iPhone 6+, but can not figure out how to do it manually before/during the shot. Occasionally the ae will show up while shooting but it's automatic. I am sure it is just the phone outsmarting me...I like some of the shots I got today with the tent but it's a fold up tent and you can see the frame top in the reflection. I think I can sort that out with some material and lighting and more practice. Eventually I will probably just buy a good camera and lens. I will say my phone is way better than my digital point and click camera. Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

Still working on the photos. The reflection is the light tent...now what? Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

I couldn't decide so I made a healthy stir fry[emoji107]

Very awesome. Gotta love this place. Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

Generally, I prefer Omega over Breitling, but in this case I prefer the Colt.

I feel like eating unhealthy food today....so now that I have committed, I cannot decide on what....

Nice work here. Very nice budget build. Looks the part and also looks useful. As in you can really wear it as a tool watch.

Love the patina on the dial, hands and insert. Case looks to be in excellent condition as well. Awesome build my friend. Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

You can find good info here on this http://www.vintagerolexforum.com/ Look in the serial number project tab it includes case back markings and plenty of VI.66 are documented. Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

Beautiful, I like the dial better too. Love the strap. May I ask where you got it? Was strap shopping today and really like the pebbled look with the goldish stitch. That would look great on my Big Crown. Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

Lol, every update it gets worse. It is what I mainly use for forum activity. It is like the Hummer of apps. Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

Still trying different straps. Kind of like the tan on this Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️
