Yeah, Jakob's AR is pretty good - though in fairness not as good as Chief's. I also wish it wasn't quite so purple but it really is fine all things being considered - especially the cost.

Your crystal fell out mate!

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It really is nice and runs great too. Another plus is the reliabilty of the ETA 6497's. If you build up one of these it truly will last a lifetime. My local watchmaker who is this hardcore, old school Rolex Level 3 Master with tons off accolades always says the 6497 and the Rolex 3135 are tied for being the most bullet proof movements ever made. He loves the 6497- and any movement that is tough. He even joked once and said they sometimes run better with a little dirt in them.

I have some other great straps so when I do the whole pictorial I'll shoot it with all the different straps. My favorite is a distressed bomber leather one that HK Tan made for me as well. Stay tuned.
