Will someone please remind me not to buy basket cases? No matter how attractive? I've spent more time on this than anything I've ever built. Gen case, crown, swiss 2824, Yuki dial, Clark hands and plexi. eh.......

This amazing piece of art catches light like nothing else I have seen. I have never succeeded in capturing what I see. So here is another portrayal of a failure. This is just 1/10th of the shots I took :(

I believe so, be careful out there, there are a few fake bracelets and clasps.

I will let you know in a few days for certain with pics hopefully :)
