I should invest in a macro lens, just for watches! :D

I did and it really makes a difference. I bought a canon 100mm 2.8 macro non is. Got a really nice copy used about $400. Big difference

A couple months ago I started obsessing over the prototype SINGER dials (good read here: http://rolexpassionreport.com/6111/the-story-about-rolex-prototypes-of-dial-maker-singer/)

I've built 8-10 daytonas and 6-7 of those has genuine movements. Most of that converted to rolex 727. I decided to embark on a new journey and here is the result. Definitely one of the most beautiful watches I've laid eyes on.

The dial is insane in person. The watch is running a Valjoux 726 converted to Rolex 727. The beauty of this dial is that it's a silk matte sunburst dial. Absolutely crazy in person. Safe to say, this is now in my permanent collection.

Always on Top man !

This purple dial is awesome.
And the engraving your GMT case back is beautiful. Better than mine.
Cheers !

Probably will be on M2M soon but this superfranken Monte Carlo is absolutely one of my favorite to build. When I got a hold of the extremely rare blue bezel and dial I just had to do it!
