As promised...My New PO, 1680 and LV-ish (BIG PHOTOS!)

[mike g]

So, I opted for the over-yellowed 1680 (instead of the Noobmariner) and the Ultimate 45mm PO from Andrew. Review to follow- (not that there aren't 30+ out there)

I really love the look of the thick acrylic crystal on the 70's-80's watches. This was the best I could do for the time being.

Please ignore my $45 craigslist LV with GREEN dial. Great date mag though...

Here is some of my photographic handywork for you guys:

And nothing wrong with the green dial--almost looks better than the regular; like the GMT II 50th aniv.

Hehe...Thanks ;-)

It's an even cheaper version of PugWash's lightbox. I'll make a proper one in the near future.

I really like the way the light hits it. It's been the best "off the street" I've ever purchased.

Those black and white pics look fantastic.

Nice work.

Nice work. Is that a MacBook being used as a white panel?

 

[mike g]

Close- It's my iMac.

I just used a regular sheet of office paper and some tissue paper from a christmas sweater box haha.

I did lean the whole contraption against it though.

As great as that pic of the PO is, I wonder why no one has yet taken a photo of the orange bezel PO next to a pumpkin!
