dbane883 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 It's an impressive build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Breathtaking price that hinges entirely on the provenance of the movement, as far as I'm concerned. I'll need more than "Valjoux 727"! Visually, I'd rather have wiesn089's old build. (Right, Daniel?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Always impressed how people can throw $10k into a build, but not spend a couple of hundred bucks on a decent camera... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 It's not a gen 727....rather a Valjoux 72 converted to look like a 727... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but it's more about learning how to use light to your advantage, I use an iphone for all my pics and they're pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iphone's camera is pretty decent, not that it can compete with a dlsr, but you can still get some pretty good pictures if you have good lighting.

alligoat Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 It's not a gen 727....rather a Valjoux 72 converted to look like a 727... I had to go back and read it again, but right you are janeto72! Coopster9 lists it at $3000usd whereas a true Rolex 727 would be worth $10-15K usd, And he as much as admits that it's not a true 727 on page 6 of the RWI thread.

Yep, I use a GS4 for most of my photos since it makes uploading easier and good light goes a long way. This and I always place it on a tripod or mount. Not shooting from your hands with a mobile phone camera can make a world of difference in the clarity and focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can wear it a business meeting or grabbing a Saturday night movie. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
