AP Montauk Highway - Basic Photos

[seriph]

Well I finally got around to taking some pics of the Monty - man, I love this watch!

These shots are just taken using my iphone as my DSLR is getting repaired. Apologies for the quality issues, but5 at least fans get some more pics of a very yummy timepiece!

BTW the striations (lines) that appear to be on the bezel and from the LED lights I fitted to my cabinet - the bezel is perfectly smooth brushed steel.

Here are some more shots ...

and ....

.... and for anyone interested who hadn't seen it before, this is the cabinet I made over the Christmas break to keep my goodies in - the LED lighting is behind the timber 'arch'

Thanks guys .... still hoping to get a nice front-on shot of the Montauk Highway roadsign (hint hint)



My Monty case is gonna be something else.

BTW I have an unrelated project that requires help from a kind Spaniard .... anyone know such a person? I am not kidding folks .... I have a pen project that I need to make using certain Spanish items for a certain Spanish region ... I can fake it all, but it kills the point of the project. So .... if there's any interest I'd love to get a PM so I can explain in more detail

thanks

Thanks for the positive comments folks. Very kind.

I would make another. But the cost would be too invasive on most member's rep- budgets.



Only thing I'd do differently I'd reorient the shallow drawer so stuff ran longways as you open the drawer. Would stop items rattling a little in use. Might still do it but I have too many other projects. For example a kick ass box for the montauk. Have bought a brilliant pen to go with it. Want to get the AP booklets. Have the cuff links. The box will be VERY nautical in theme. Eg. The 'hollow' for the pen will be shaped like an oar. The stays (to stop the kid opening too far) will be miniature stainless steel pulleys from a model boat kit coupled with woven stainless wire. Found some turquoise croc skin that I might use to lone it and of course the lid will have the blonde wood strips between the other 'boards'. Finally the box won't be square. Gonna make it with slightly curved sides which will be slightly concave to emulate a boat hull. Should be fun and worthwhile ad I am keeping this watch for life.

what a great collection you have! love the cabinet btw!

Killer collection man
