Gotcha!!!

As you can see from the screwed-in crown, I managed to take this picture WITHOUT stopping the watch. A perfect overlapping of all three hands at 12 noon precisely!!!

I think it was Photoshopped.

Oh, that's right. You don't know how to use Photoshop, do you JJ!

Nice pic!

JJ,

Great shot.

Did the magnet move Platty's bezel?

Nice catch, depending on your camera, that can be tough to do.

To bad you didn't have the bezel aligned as well

Thanks, guys.....don't know how I could have missed that bezel alignment. Just one of the problems with a bi-directional bezel, I guess!!

I had washed Platty that morning and must have moved the bezel whilst giving it a rub down!!
