Macro Practice of 1947 Lord Elgin Watch

[nko51]

These were taken in 640X480. Look at the patina on the dial! How do these look? The 3rd and 4th are okay! But the rest were a little to close for the camera's capability.

Some of your pix are really good. They show the patina on the dial beautifully.

I love the inscription on the back, too. It makes it much more than a watch, it was an event in someone's life.

I love inscriptions also, that was one of the reasons why I bought this one on Ebay about 6 years ago. But, alot of people would say that inscriptions lower the value of an old watch. The engraving on this one was somewhat touching to me, so I bought it.
