Macro Shots
I am still using iphone4 GSM 5mp Camera. Stock Camera App with this Wide Angle/Macro magnetic lens attachment. Decided to try and shoot a few handheld macros under my Desk LED lamp. I'm curious to see if I can improve on anything when I switch to my mini iphone tripod and use the Camera+ App with stabilizer. I also have Snapseed App which I highly recommend. I think I can achieve better on this macro engraving.The hand engraved balance cock.Silver plate and gold engraved lettering.Shaky hand here, was too mesmerized by the balance spring rotatingCan anyone offer a translation? Danke!Little bit of noise here as well.Sent from my iPhone4

"Frisson" [free-sohn] is French for a shiver or cold chill.

Hi guys,I need some help sourcing vintage omega parts for a 132.019 watch. I need a crystal and some advice on rusty parts. The rusty parts are not very rusty but it is rusty enough to completely stop the watch. the water was let into the watch from the crown and tube, the location gear and clutch are rusty but the rest of the watch movement is absolutely fine. Also does anyone know how to locate the mainspring back into the movement.I can provide pics if you need them.Thanks,Aude

I might replace them myself, as it would be a nice little project, and then have it tested for water proofness.So today I popped the bezel. And it was DIRTY under there. And I also found something interesting...So here we go...Some masking tape, and a small Victorinox pocket knife where my tools.Bezel came off really easily.Bezel popped off. I started to insert the blade between the case and bezel, and push inwards, no twisting at all, and it literally said pop.
