Title: Pics of my AP Jumbo Two Tone
Post by: takashi78 on October 03, 2012, 08:07:29 AM: Some mobile phone pics until i get off my lazy ass to find some good light source around the house :P

I would like to say again that the S2 is a LOUSY phone to capture pics, no dedicated button and its almost impossible to operate with one hand. :HammerHead:

You mean with grey dials?
Any example of the other watches you can show?
Title: Re: Pics of my AP Jumbo Two Tone
Post by: JOS2012 on October 03, 2012, 03:28:08 PM: bro,
sorry, I meant generally 2 tone watches were hot in late 80's/early 90's not just APs..most brands had them..
I had a few including Tag Heuer, Seiko, Titoni and even an EternaMatic with grey dial but alas, all sold off over the years....

Post by: takashi78 on October 04, 2012, 08:10:06 AM: Some extra pics i just took.
For a watch over 35yrs old its still holding strong and in pretty good shape.

Still with the old style clasp.

Bracelet stretch not as serious as Rolex Jubilee

New crown from service

All the sides, looks like the previous polish done before sold to me did a good job.
Didnt butcher the beautiful Genta designed curves.

Post by: sm on October 04, 2012, 07:34:41 PM: Very handsome. Royak Oak is always rated n compare in the same breath as PP Nautilus. Imo, it is craftsmanship of the highest degree. It is artistic geometry in action.

A dash of gold signifies your arrival. Your measure of success.

Wear it in good health, Peter. Congrats!

Passion for classics is an acquired taste. Once you got it under your skin, it will grow on you.

A watch that goes well w full suit. And please ensure your belt buckle is gold n s/steel!

I stl think it is handsome.
