  1. Sounds good. Some practical advice based on past experience: with these sorts of things I have found that you have "proof" the photos in the printer's colorspace before submitting the images. They should hopefully provide the PS profile to do this. I've printed photo books before and sRGB just does not map well into these things, and once I had to completely redo one on my dime. FYI! Anyhow, I'm sure this is going to turn out great and definitely want a copy!
  2. This old thing...
  3. I'm all for it!
  4. Went this route on the way out of the house this morning....
  5. Super luminova, unlike tritium, should not show any fade if I remember a The Zigmeister post from many moons ago correctly.... Search for it.
  6. Starting off the week with this one...
  7. There was never any doubt that this was going on, despite the lies to the contrary from both k2222 and the beneficiaries of the free work.
  8. That looks tough!!! The red in the dial really sets the whole thing off!
  9. I'm pretty sure the 40mm PAMs use the smaller cyclops which is what I produced in my last run... you bought some right?
  10. Great news, LR!
  11. These dials are indeed fantastic and I am VERY much looking forward to seeing some completed watches!!
  12. Friday the following. Sat-Sun TBD.
  13. Yea I'll try. I have been using off-axis shooting angles to easily mitigate crystal reflections. I have an idea for taking shots head-on though........
  14. Two days in a row now.
  15. With the US dollar circling the drain (although having made a rally as of late), this is no surprise... just wait until these bail outs start going through, though.... Bernanke's inflationary monetary policy is going to force Rolex into monthly US price increases before long. Oops was that a political post?
  16. Hehe, thanks all! No new camera. I just finally got a lens suitable for taking these sorts of pics and set up a proper lighting environment, which by the way, could still use some work... Photographing polished pieces is still a bear. Oh and, BTW, just to clear up confusion: there is no AR on this crystal, only on the cyclops (which is invisible) to reduce reflections on it. If you notice on the first pic, I tried to let a little "moon" sliver of reflection catch the crystal on the right side of the photo, for effect. Thanks again! @sssurfer: I think the PAM cyclopes on the underside of the glass would frustrate me too much! Rolex cyclopes, no problem.
  17. Mine on a Savage "saddle tan" stitchless.... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=539980
  18. Another one of my favorite PAMs of all time... The Recipe Old School "OFFCINE PANERAI" 2893 PAM 63 The Zigmeister dial and hands lume The Zigmeister-installed Chieftang A-D cyclops w/ D.A.R. Finepics date wheel Jimmy Fu CG Palp 2.0 Crown The Pics Comments Executed here on a Savage saddle tan stitchless, this guy looks good on light and dark straps alike. Another personal favorite for this one is the Micah (Vintager) brindle, which is much darker. The Greg Stevens Crazy Horse looks great as well.... The watch itself could use some polishing, especially around the bezel. My only fear, though, is that the bezel is plated rather than polished and I might end up making things a lot worse if I try to polish it.... The Jimmy Fu crown, well, I'm kicking myself for not having bought several while they were still around. Overall, I think the Jimmy Fu / Palp 2.0 combo is a little less than optimal - I should have put a gen crown on instead, but it's really hard to complain all that much. This piece is an absolute joy to look at and wear.
  19. Great looking watch! Wear it well LR!
  20. The cyclops project was initiated and organized by an RWG member who purchased all the cyclops in a group buy. I really don't know if he advertised it over there or not. But, not everyone logs in to both boards..
  21. Expected back Monday-ish now.... I will say this. On my PAM 63 the AR on the cyclops has made a noticeable improvement. I can actually read the date under sunlight now.
  22. See you guys around the bend.... Have a great time!
  23. I'd not pay $20 for rep single AR, personally.
  24. Ohhhh nice! Didn't think I'd like this watch on croco, but I was wrong!! The blue is SHARP!!!
  25. Ah OK an A/B series OEM strap... Duh.
