A neighbor of mine is a very good photo hobbyist who sells a loyt of his work. He told me that the Panasonic Lumix 12x zoom with the Leica lens was, in his opinion, the best all around camera for a small, light weight camera. I can get one here in the US for about $160..not a bad price. Only problem

Very nice watch Graham...you always seem to find the bargains! Your picture quality is outstanding. I am sure you are using a top notch camera, but do you have any pointers to improve my skills...or lack there of! I have an Olympus C-4000, 10x zoom and can never seem to get the focus on close ups co

UN advised me that it was a Valjoux 72 made in 1966. UN took the movement and added the exceptional finishing. If you look at a Rolex Daytona of the same vintage with the same V72 movement, the finishing is nowhere near as elaborate as the UN.

Hello Nicolas...there is extensive perlage finishing to all of the gold portions of the movement including the base plates. Sorry for the quality of the pics, I can't seem to get my camera to focus very finely even in the macro mode. I'll try again and see if I can't improve on the quality Dave

Hello all...you may remember my original post of February 11 when I showed a few pictures of my UN chrono with the manual Valjoux 72 movement. I finally got one of those new fangled "horb" rubber balls and took the case back off. The movement is a work of art! Gold plating and machine work everywher

for your opinion and comments. I always feel a tinge of "buyer's remorse" when I splurge for a new addition to the collection, albeit a modest one. I've reached a point with the wife that when I buy one...I feel I have to sell one! What's wrong with that picture! I'll try and hold on to all of them

Hello all......My question is regarding the popularity of the steel and gold Speedmasters versus the all steel. Attached please find a few pics of my latest addition. A Speedmaster automatic in steel and 18k. It is a model 3311.20.00 caliber 1155 and in mint condition with all the boxes, books and m

Nice to hear from you and thanks for the compliment. I'll try and get one of those rubber balls for removing the case back and post some pics of the movement. It is a real stunner! All the Best , Dave

Thanks for the information. I have the F300 with the white dial and arabic numerals...love the watch though it does not get a lot of wrist time. Dave

I'll post some pics of the movement when I get one of those rubber balls to remove the case back. Any tips on photography...I have an Olympus C4000 and I have always had some difficulties with close up shots and lighting. Any help from Forum members would be appreciated
