She knew what I liked>>>

Sorry guys a fast and dirty photo, I don't have a light box set up right now.

Just had to share a pic of these "home-made' or hand-made' dinner plates I received as a Christmas present.

Yes there are some errors, but she's not a WIS and these are hand drawn and painted.



WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

If you want my honest opinion I'd say the details on those plates are quite amazing, especially given the fact that they're hand made!

I think she did a fantastic job I just know how some fellow WIS painstakingly inspect and comment on errors of counterfeit watches; and I just wanted to say in advance that these dinner plates are hand drawn by someone that has NO watch experience, she just likes art and to paint for fun. I'll just say she took artistic license I just didn't want people posting: Oh that font should be blah, and your blah is missing...

Again, I could not be happier
