pizzanooo Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I agree, this shot is hot. Lets not let it out to the general public. I have the same piece modded, and wish I could capture it as well as FxrAndy did on this shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pix Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I know I'm a relative newbie, and saying this might be forced, but I_M_H_O, this is the best photo shown of a rep watch on RWG this year. ...a pity that there's no seconds@6 to freeze on this one... :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POTR Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 All of my watches are my favorite... but, if I said that the "best" in my collection was a gen with a VJ 72C would you understand my reluctance to post pictures? However, I did just finish cleaning and servicing the movement of my recently wristied Elgin, so, I will take the opportunity to show it off a bit more, if only to enhance other's appreciation of vintage pieces... I haven't polished the crystal or case yet... that's for another day. This movement is a 17 Jewel, Grade 524 Elgin, one of 7000 produced in 1936. This movement was made from 1935 to 1939 and there were a total of 157,000 made. It still wears a nearly perfect flat nickel finish... These are not quite impossible to find parts for yet, but proper cleaning and servicing is a must, as when parts wear out, they are getting harder and harder to find. This one also just got a new screw when I was putting it back together, because one screw-head was a bit butchered from who knows what watchmaker in the last 72 years getting a bit rough with it. Can you tell which screw is just a little "sharper" looking? And, just a thought, but how many of your reps are going to be running and looking this good in your grandkids hands 70 years from now? This gen has a really good chance of still being around even then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 This one takes it for sure. BTW congrats to WP on your new HBB, you are going to love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 For me it would be my 1665, by no means the most worn watch in my collection but the combination of difficult to find gen parts and doing all the mods myself make it hard to go past. My old, old school omega 007 also with gen parts comes in a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a german in denmark Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 That's difficult... I like this one a lot, it's getting more wrist time than the others (that can change, though...) Cheers, Volker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I guess the Aquaracer chrono is my favorite watch of them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
