[rbj69]

Well this is my first high end watch that i owned , and the only one that really means something to me, my step father , which is really who raised me since i was three years old gave me this watch when i graduated high school back in the 80's and really because i was excepted in college, and i wore it for a long time till i really got obsessed with watches lol then my income level rose and so did my taste for watches lol , but i on occasions would still where this watch it feels like home when i put it on if u know what i mean, but as timed changed the watch started looking to old manish for me lol it is 38 mm quickset datejust 160013 model two tone, well i do like to gamble sometimes so i call it my casino watch or my "bling bling" watch i tried to keep it not too gaudy and keep it elegant and classy , so what do u think the case was pretty banged up as well so i took it all apart refinished it and put a new tropic 135 on it and had a great friend of mine make me a black mother of pearl dial with vs-1 diamonds and i decided i didnt want too blingy so i had him me me a 1.25 ct bezel for it , well enjoy and i hope u like it , i took several differnt lighting pics so u can see the true colors of the dial

this is how it is originally

this is the final outcome

some different wrist shots

and yes if i didnt already own the genuine watch i would have done me one up in a replica for sure , lol
