Phil,

I'm lost for adjectives on this one. Simply beautiful. Do you have any history on it? Someone of importance surely owned this work of art. Thanks for sharing.

WOW!!! That is an amazing case! I have one just like it, but the case is more middle class 14k. Yours is Rockefeller all the way.

John,
Sorry, but I don't have any history on this nice watch.
I got it from a pawn shop dealer a couple of years ago. I asked him the same question, and he had no history about it either.
I am having great fun learning to take pictures of my favorite watches. The tips that I receive from you folks has helped me immensely.

I am using the OTT-LITE that you have recommended. I sure hope you get royalties from that company for all the advertising that you have done for them.
Thanks for all of your picture taking tips!

Phil, your pictures are outstanding. Can I ask what camera you are using? Dang, they're nice!

Larry,
I use a SONY MAVICA CD400,and am just learning what all of the features are all about. Also using the OTT-LITE you recommended with a clear storage container lined with Vellum Paper to diffuse the light. I take several shots of each picture subject to get just the right one. Lots of practice, but you already knew that!

The good thing about my camera is that I can use re-writeable discs and reformat them. I'll bet I have taken about 500 pictures with the disc I am currently using. When the quality goes away, I will replace the disc.

Truth be told, I take 20 shots to get 1 good one. Good thing memory cards are getting cheap.

Nice watch Phil.That must be fairly old, and a really nice case also.
I thought i was a Hamilton guy but i don,t know just might be a Elgin man now.
Great watch and very good photography.

Hi Phil. It looks to me like you have the photos down pat, they are very impressive, a person can see every detail.
