Anatomy of a vintage insert


Recommended Posts

The MBW's came out really good. The 4-0 connecting urks me a little. Though, thats the thing with the rolex "tells".. They urk me more than any other. Knowing they can get much more complex details correct, the Rolex sport line shouldn't be so difficult.
