Is she absolutely spendid or what???

Hello Rolex Buds!

Happen to catch my awesome DSSD under the brilliant skylight in our home today.

And low and behold; what do I see magically appear??

Why it's the majestic and iconic Rolex laser etched coronet in all her amazing glory.

Is she gorgeous or what???

Check out the image below!

Yes, very nice indeed.

Nice. I find it very difficult to capture the LEC on my white dial Daytona during the day. I had to use artificial lighting at night. Black is somewhat easier I suppose.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I'll say!!

It took me and my cheap PhD (push-here-dummy) Canon PowerShot Sd880 IS Digital Elph camera like a couple of dozen shots before I finally pulled this amazing shot off!

All that time, I was able to 'see' the laser coronet on the crystal also, but just unable to get that 'right' angle to capture it.

but yes, finally, patience and persistence paid off for me!

yes, absolutely love that coronet singing to me everytime I look at her!

If I use my iPhone flash light I can see it anytime, but it's hard to capture a picture of it.
It's like finding treasure at the end of a rainbow when you get the picture of it.
