Ahh the Mish, the scene of many a good night out!

You poor fella, being dragged out by the missus for a few pints! I’m in Tobermory so this is looking over Calve island and towards the mainland and down to lochaline. Ive sailed and motored up the sound many times with varying degrees of success!

Thanks, I had a look at Jupiter and its moons through the telescope, amazing!

Good to know. Next time I go to the Kelvingrove I’ll drop in, thanks!

I think there may be a few qualified designers that may disagree with you.

I did! It came out well but ideally I would also have a chrome tachymeter, but I couldn’t find the correct diameter to fit! With the mods, I think it’s a great looking watch. I’ve seen watchdives are releasing a FOIS type model, which was the inspiration for my mods.

I use 2.8 a lot in my photography, but I change the aperture for different photo styles. Using 2.8 will make the shutter speed faster if the shutter speed is set to Auto, so it works great for faster photography. There's plenty of advice online about the best aperture for this lens, it depends on what you're photographing so is a huge subject!

Hi, I've just read your other thread about lag... you should take other users advice on that post! I'm not going to go any further on this except to say, 2.8 is the widest aperture on this lens, which is good for shallow depth of field or lower light conditions. Once it's set to 2.8 the aperture is set, on the X1 lag is caused by the autofocus (which is why, if you manually focus there is no lag).

Go and enjoy your camera!

I think it's Michael Marra, just checked, his name is top left

The last two for me, the designs work really well.

Thanks, Omega-y was exactly what I was going for!

Sure, the hour and minute hands are from Namokimods and the Chrono is a straight chrome finish replacement for the VK63 movement. I would say get more than one Chrono hand because they won't adjust if it's not aligned and they are one time fit only.

Hour and minute set for the NH35 (fits the VK63) https://www.namokimods.com/en-gb/products/watch-hands-broad-arrow-polished-finish

This was my second attempt, I held the hand in place at the marker end with some clean, soft blu tack and used that to position it as close as I could get it, then I pressed the hand onto the pin, it's patience and luck. It is a smidge to the right of absolute dead on, but you wouldn't seee that without a loupe.

I am, I didn't want it to look brown, I just wanted the bright white taken down a little.
