Close, Closer, Closest.
So after taking pictures of a spring bar tool I am planning to sell I decided it was time for some new pics of my 2254 and PO. Now I do not have the same skills in photography as many of you but I know a few things and those few things, along with paying attention to the detail of your pictures (angle, etc.), have helped me along with my picture taking. As some might know, my camera is a Sony Cyber-shot, 8.5 megapixal. Not what the professionals use. This camera has served me well except in one area: close ups. I was only able to get so close to my watches before the image would go blurry.This was the closest I have been able to get......until now. I know optical zoom is better than digital zoom. So I decided to put that principal into action by using, well you will have to wait until after looking at my pictures. And everyone please tell me what you think of them and what I should work on.

One of the Rarest Elgins you will ever see, 19th one made ! ! !
This is a 1915 Elgin, size 3/0s, 17 jewels, grade 423, serial number 18628019. I have only seen one of these size 3/0s Elgins with 17 jewels before, it had a broken staff and mainspring. It had no case or dial and it sold for about $400.00 a year ago. The database says that this was the 19th one manufactured in a run of 1000 but the Elgin Master Records say only 500 were made. Either way this one is off the charts on the rare scale! Which one is correct? The grade was only made for one year, 1915. The white gold filled Philadelphia case is in very good condition and I have not done a thing to it but wipe it down a bit. The case measures 36mm lug to lug and 31mm w/o the very nice crown. The dial has patina and is faded along with the hands. Movement is pretty clean but needs to be adjusted as it is running a bit fast right now. When it came in the mail today the band was the wrong size so I put a 16mm dark green Crocodile on it just to spruce it up a tad for the pictures. Crystal is fai

ROO Dials no longer machined on a Rosette???
Looking at the dials of the new (2015) 42 mm ROO (Diver, Safari, etc) it is evident that the dials are no longer machined, as depicted on the AP videos. They don't have the dots and concentric lines that are the trademark of carving the tapisserie dial with a Rosette. The new dials are completely smooth, like if they had been stamped. To me, that lost a big part of the craftsmanship experience. Does anyone know why the change?Thanks!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OMEGA Speedmaster Pro vs Alaska?
I already have a white dial chrono and I'm craving a Speedy, which one should I go for if I can get either at the same price?
