Santa dropped off these two beauties.  I've been eyeballing the Chopard for years.  It's a fabulous watch.  I have been intrigued by the Rado's also.  So I  took the plunge, no regrets.  And had a chance to try out the new light box.  It sure makes a difference in the photos.

Maybe you're right on Cindy, but have you ever spoken to anybody associated with Omega?  Seriously, we're talking looney.  I mean, I keep expecting to see some of them handing out roses at the airport!  :shock:

Beautiful Mille Miglia there, Tx.

Even nicer on the SS bracelet than on the more usual tire tread rubber. It might only be a 42mm diameter, but it looks like it wears larger - and it looks like the perfect fit for you! perfect.gif

The Rado - just a classic IMHO.

Great buys, Tx - wear them in good health!

What's interesting about this thread is that my wife got me a light box for photographing my watches and other little things.   I have not set it up yet, but it's got 3 lights and 2 backgrounds if I remember correctly.   She ordered it from one of those specialty catalogues she gets in the mail.  I might even be able to get my little
poodle in it........

That Chopard is a very cool watch .... Is it a Valjoux movement inside ?  The Rado is a collectors staple , an iconic watch ... way to go  hand6.gif

Correct the movement is a base ETA Valjoux 7754 ;)
