RobbieG Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 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!

mjmurphy926 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 VERY nice Robbie...I love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
