heres some of my 1969 Red 1680. I think Rolex made a huge mistake when they stopped using these beautiful bevels.

Beautiful watches everybody....this thread amazing. Great pics

My pics to start the thread are no match to Jocke's but let me share a secret how I take pretty good macro lug and dial shots with a $200 camera and a $10 loupe....
Using scotch tape, I tape a 10x loupe directly onto the lens of my $200 Canon camera. I have the macro mode on and take very close up photos throught the loupe.
Works for me.
BTW - this thread is making my day!
