cornerstone Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Yeah, amazing pics and amazing work! Rolexes aren't my thing at all - but that gigantic crystal and the great photos....

freddy333 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Pug -- Looks excellent so far. How does the date window look from straight on?
RWG Technical Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Looks great...nice work. Nice to see you doing it all yourself, sort of takes the shine off the fact that some would like others to believe only a few gifted people in the world can do this stuff...it's not so hard after all... Can't wait to see the remainder of the work. RG
Stephane Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Congratulations Pug. I'm jalous about the slow beat One question: do you intend to age the dial and hands ? Cheers Stephane
Justasgood Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 What they all should look like....Nice job pug!
