a member (3chibis) asked me I I would mind posting a few pics of my dsn fiddy, so I thought I might as well take a round of new pics with the latest upgrades....

yes, I too am amazed how bad my pics are :)

here goes:

I flattned and polished the CG pin and sanded the actual CG.
the CG was so uneven that I couldn't get a smooth even satin look on the whole surface.
the pin was sitting in a "concave" that wouldn't get sanded as the rest of the cg. looks much better now, but the engravings on the cg are perhaps not deep enpough now??

got the blue AR off....needs new AR, but no AR is much better than rep AR imo.

changed the hands for a new set from dsn. the old ones were kindda bowl shaped, on the round part of the minute hand, around the canon pin.
also polished the hands to a less glossy look...more glossy than satin, but less glossy than outta box.
the outta box had a milled out texture, showing in the mirror like surface.

I think you have done very well with that watch. IMHO the engravings are still good, the flattened pin looks good. The movement looks nice, lots of attention to the detail IMHO.

And if you use a longer focal length your flash doesn't kill your pics :)

Thank you Turkish :)

The crown guard pin looks great and from the pictures the engravings look just fine; maybe another project might be to deepen the engravings? j/k Ha! With the AR gone, it is much cleaner! Thanks again!
