Sheila,

These little watches are wonderful! Of all the Elgin's I've worked on, wanted to buy, bought and wished I could buy, along comes a model that I've never seen before.

Thank you so much for sharing these little wonders with everyone!

Thanks Sheila your Pansys are the only ones i have seen also.I was just wondering what you have on your camera for close ups, do you have a close up lense you attach?

Thank you John and Kevin!
I like em too! Aren't they neat?

I had seen one of these in a wristwatch about 2 years ago and never forgot it, never have seen another one since then either, until these came along. I had searched from then until now, and these were just right. You can immagine how pleased I was to see them in a Pocket Watch! Wow!

I'm working on new pictures, I had my 2 lenses on the camera, a 7x and a 3x for a 10x shot, but I think now, that I had the camera set on a regular shot, not the close up setting it should have been on.
Trying to find out what I did wrong almost made me nuts, until last night, when I was trying to take another closeup, and realized the camera was on the wrong setting. dah!

I will try again and if I get it right, I will change the photos here.

Thank you both for the wonderful posts.


Sheila
