BuffaloRolex · 29 March 2008, 12:28 PM

Elusive little buggers, but nice catch...

dkpw · 29 March 2008, 12:33 PM

Nice one! I bought a loupe just so I could gaze at mine in all its glory...

DSJ · 29 March 2008, 12:48 PM

Dude, where the hell have you been? Practicing Tossing? LOL, I know you've been both sick and busy!

BiG JeEzY · 29 March 2008, 12:54 PM

None of my watches have the LEC which I think is good because I probabaly would go crazy trying to look for it.

The easy trick to finding it is to use a flashlight and shine the light coming from the 12 o clock side (or opposite side from the LEC) towards the LEC. Try holding the flashlight at the same height as the sapphire crystal and from certain angles, the LEC pops right out without the need for any loupe.

GMTJOHNNY · 29 March 2008, 01:25 PM

jasonbellevue · 29 March 2008, 01:29 PM

In this case you did prosper from a little cheating. That's a nice crisp shot of your LEC.

newrolexman · 29 March 2008, 01:44 PM

The crowns are tough to photo

timackerman · 29 March 2008, 01:51 PM

Great shot!

newrolexman · 29 March 2008, 10:31 PM

I ve never seen either crown with my naked eye,, this is the only way I could verify they were there.

Need to buy a 10x loop.

thanks

PhilM · 29 March 2008, 10:43 PM

I can see mine on the SD, but it's hard to capture it on the camera.. so well done

EvEr34 · 29 March 2008, 10:45 PM

nice shot. Now that you know where to look I'm sure you feel better
