P4GTR Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 This is precious. She is beautiful, Ube! I shoot with an EOS as well. If I may, a little more detail on the lens? What are you using for resizing the pics? Lovely shots all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks, gang Well, there's no question that Rolex builds a solid, robust mech. movement, but the overall quality is nowhere near the same league as many of the prestigious watch houses that pour hours worth of hand finishing into their calibers. Rather, what finishing there is on the Rolex bridges and plates is more out of function rather than form; i.e. the perlage is there for detaining dust and debris. However, if one were to disassemble the movement one would discover that the finishing is only on the exposed surface areas only; the finishing stops once a plate overlaps. Despite these details, I think the simplicity of the movement is what makes it beautiful. It's not overly complicated with clear, concise and logical design. Just from handling it, I find that it's easier to work with than even an ETA. As for the pics; I think it's mostly the camera The lighting is usually natural light, and I use a 50mm macro lens on my EOS. I wish I could take some of the credit The lens is actually quite versatile; here's a pic of my daughter that I took just earlier today using the same lens. I wubs it. Watches, movements, shiiits this and that!!! m8 you have a amazing girl there, THIS SHOULD BE IN THE PIC OF THE YEAR!!! Congrates on your girl/fameli Ubi!!!

valerian Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Ahh. That one I know! Quite some second career for a humble Eterna movement! (BTW: I love Eterna. They make classy and subtle stuff.) Great pix, as usual, Ubi. Val. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I almost felt bad about taking the movement from the Eterna to make the Daytona. But I usually look at transplanting movements from one case to another as being similar to people or families moving from one house to another. The heart is still the same, so to speak; the exterior might look a little different, however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Nice allegory, Ubi. Looking at your Daytona the Eterna movement must be proud. Val. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselpower Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Enough already! Not content with making me sick with his movements, then his lovely daughter, then a daytona to die for he then goes and wheels out a bunch of Pateks. This man is evil and twisted.............
