Guitar vs. Watch question...any musicians?

Re: Guitar vs. Watch question...any musicians?

I wanna upgrade my classical guitar... let's talk

Good question!

I've shipped several Tenor Ukuleles >>>

You know...I never thought about it.

IMO a friendlier on-line community too >>>

My hunch is that you'd have to be VERY careful with shipping it, not just for impact...

He'll be OK with Humidity & Temperature >>>

This is good to hear, thank you. I was concerned about the humidity temp thing.

Glad my hunch was wrong, Paul. Good luck with the sale Brad! (n/t)

You might be correct with your friend's double bass >>>

Ah, thanks Paul. I think I'll ask him out of curiosity. (n/t)

If you do want to include a humidifier >>>

Funny, I was worried about too much humidity. I guess I have been living in the tropics for too long (n/t)

Yep, I think the wood is more likely to split if dried, especially suddenly, at least that was my concern. (n/t)

Advise on entry level (low cost) DSLRs for watch Photog.**THANKS ALL"

Re: Advise on entry level (low cost) DSLRs for watch Photog.**THANKS ALL"

A DSLR will offer you many more options, if that's what you're looking for.

Stick with a good P&S

all my pics are done with my Lumix LX3

I agree with Chance

Nikon D3000 or a Canon EOS Rebel T1i

Colby thanks

I've tried it both ways, Ken...

You really need a good macro lens for photographing watches with a DSLR.

I had a 995 and have replaced it with a much smaller and less expensive Coolpix S10. I would not >>>

THANKS ALL! Im sticking w/My P&S  (n/t)

I have my custom watch back and regulated

Great looking dial  (n/t)

Excellent! THe dial turned out well. (n/t)

PEERLESS is priceless  (n/t)

 (n/t)

Nice! I also like the pebble finish on the dial. Asphalt nearly. (n/t)

Re: Nice! I also like the pebble finish on the dial. Asphalt nearly.

If I'd specified flat black and been presented with that..

I just lucked out and am much happier with the finish... (n/t)

So noted. If ever ye order a blue-dialed watch from me..

Cool! What is finish on dial? (n/t)

Cool watch! Welldone with regulations!  (n/t)

Ever hear of an "LJ" watch?

Can't help you, but great to hear from you! Hope you're back for a while!  (n/t)

Thanks, Johnny!! It wouldn't surprise me one whit to find out that "LJ" is a Chinese, quartz powered watch.

New one from Prometheus >>>

Nice, but these boutique brands are overlapping big time  (n/t)

 (n/t)

Nothing special, though probably well made (n/t)

A little Doxa-esque - but I like it The case back is a winner! (n/t)

I hate those computer renderings, they never look like the real thing...

Great designs  (n/t)

Photo Contest Reminder...

Bulova Precisionist, does any one have any Pics of the Movt?

Sadly my Car mag said available at Kay jewelers, checked the web site not there  (n/t)

Check back on Sept. 22  (n/t)

Thought I read some where that Kay Jewelers had them, went today & they where not there, correction...

I don't think you'll have to wait quite that long. In fact, I'll make a small wager wi' ye Bro. Bill!

your right they need to hire you & they need to give a prize to the person who figured out the ad  (n/t)

I like the way you think, Bill!

Re: I know that the Bulova Precisionist was shown at Basel this pat year & recently released.

Need a bit of assistance on an unfamiliar watch: Hilton Chrono

Thanks for the replies, gents. I'm guessing this won't get solved until I crack the case (n/t)

A good guess, I'm thinkin'

Don't know much about Hilton, though I've seen a few. I suspect the movement to be a Landeron 248 or related.

Hilton was more of a marketing than watch company...

The two that I have contain hand wind ETA movements

No idea about movement of this one.... But the watches are good....

Another mixed day here so I have started with one that always raises my spirit ...

for that pair! (n/t)

Sorry for the trouble ...

Re: Sorry for the trouble ...

You are not alone here. The merge works just the other way one would think it should (n/t)

Only one week to prepare. What will be your watch for White Dial Day?

I think this one will do nicely >>>

Re: I think this one will do nicely >>>

Mostly white, or dry-cleaners white?

Is it that time already?

Aww, geez! You let out the surprise.

Re: Really, I left out a lot more watches than that. It was not intentional, just lazy.

Either one of these.

I got it covered, Chris. I will have to rotate>>

Cool idea from you still,Chris I cannot remember nor heard we had this informal guide line in Europe >

Oh, I can't say, maybe a surprise or maybe one of these...

Typically I wear my Stowa MO Roman for White Dial Day

This ESQ should work.

this is the only white dial I own does it qualify?

Well, Chris, like you, I have several to select from>>>>>

White Dial Day?

Probably go with this one...................... (n/t)

sorry, I'm on it early

Well my 2100 is going to have to suffice

Allowances are usually granted for silver, cream, beige, and full-lume dials.

I only have one that's truly white>>>

Why so hard to find work  (n/t)

Did I miss something?

Sorry to hear it is so troublesome to find work,Bill. But stay positive,wish you best of luck! (n/t)
