Mapman57 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I will let the pictures do the talking - this is not a safe queen it is/was a daily business watch for some time. She had to go away for some finishing touches and movement work. I have not polished, or cleaned her up afterwards, or for the quick and dirty photo shoot here - and there are many to follow, hope you enjoy them. Early Noob Exp II originally sourced through BK Krysworks aftermarket OEM crystal Gen crown and tube CG's reworked to match Gen OEM bezel just returned from a movement overhaul ......and a further new calendar wheel and BK overlay was installed Best Noob bracelet and clasp End links reprofiled to match Gen On the bench under inspection.... With a touch of feline grace ........... And of a different kind of feline grace................... Oops what is that all over the desktop.................... Well what did you expect............. Not a lot of people know this ............ And finally a few glamour shots....NO not that kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
