My 1675 is stripped, clean and ready for a "new" vintage 'lunette' of mega-fat-font proportions and immaculate condition, awesome colour and fade.

Cannot wait... but have to, of course. It's on its way and should be here in a couple of days. It was silly money, but I think she's worth it. Most amazing example I've seen available for a long time, and I had to be quick, having missed another nice one the week before (despite being the first respondent - anyway, this one is even better, and fatter, so I guess some things are meant to be). More pics to come, when it arrives. Meanwhile, I quite like this look:

Yep!! Wonderful without...but can't wait to see the end result. It's gonna look stunning, as do all of your watches Vincent

Can I enquire what camera you use to get such great shots? bout time I invested in a new one.

I agree, it makes quite a nice change, but the insert is killer!

Thanks Danny, appreciated

I just use my phone for all my photos.
It's a Samsung Galaxy Ace (about 3 years old, so pre-historic in phoneland terms). I've got a nice Nikon camera, but sadly don't use it, really. The phone is so handy and quick.

I'm verry curious to see that beauty Vincent !

I usually just use natural light, and a steady hand, with a mind to composition, minimising reflections, back-ground, position of hands etc!

Cheers Larry - I'll keep the original, of course, but this will make a great change.

Great pick up! I noticed the same and know it will look great with the faded color and mega fat font. Congrats!

I have to say, the 1675 looks great even "Naked." Can't wait to see it "dressed!"
