What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.

How do you hack the second hand for specific placement, without having the crown pulled out?

More like hacking and then push the crown in with a little help of PS.

Never the less, it's a stunningly beautiful picture and one of the best I've seen from him.

Well yes, that would be one way to get the second hand to stop, but if you notice the placement of the hands, they are exactly as presented in Rolex advertising (10:11:31). Something tells me it would be a little difficult to get the power reserve to deplete and have the hands positioned in such a specific time. ;)

I just pull out the battery at 31 seconds.

I let it run until it stops then I just shake it a little so it starts and pull out the crown at 31 seconds. Then I set the
minute hand and push in the crown slow and the watch will not start.
