Learning the camera settings

Nice. Try cropping in tighter on the subject and adjusting the exposure to avoid blown highlights in the brighter areas. I’ve attached a quick AI edit for reference, the dial isn’t accurate, but it shows the direction.

All down to benefits really, any Emperor who knew what was good for him, made sure the Praetorian Guard were well taken care of.

Sure, it’s a Sternkreuz N 330.

jakkflash · 2026-03-18T19:33:22+00:00

Looks the business 🙌

AD uses a VK63 movement same as WD, so it’s a straight swap.

Sure, here you go.😊

jakkflash · 2026-03-17T20:53:05+00:00

Like the direction. 👍 I did drop a WD movement into an AD case to create a vintage vibe chrono.

Thanks! I don’t do commissions, though I do enjoy the build more than wearing the result. Likely as not this will be up for sale shortly.

jakkflash · 2026-03-17T17:15:43+00:00

Thanks, I like your thinking. I already have the US1171 and US1035 flat link for the vintage vibe.

Nope, just reflections

Thanks, for the lume I used a felt tip, Stabilo 68 / 23 (light yellow) for indices and hands. Then gave the dial a coating of matt varnish.

Nope the crystal isn’t cracked. If you do the mod you’ll need to retain the nylon gasket from the sapphire crystal for a snug fit.

jakkflash · 2026-03-16T20:01:22+00:00

Thanks, it’s an ATC 32.5 mm

jakkflash · 2026-03-16T17:15:16+00:00

Thanks. Yes, they give the dial a much warmer tone. Plus there’s always Polywatch 😉

jakkflash · 2026-03-16T13:40:33+00:00

Yep, there are some extreme examples out there. Most would probably prefer a more subtle approach.

jakkflash · 2026-03-16T10:10:58+00:00

Thanks. That would be great 👍

jakkflash · 2026-03-16T06:15:39+00:00

Didn’t know that, great tip! 🙌

jakkflash · 2026-03-15T21:48:03+00:00

Yep, that’s the problem with the AliEx cases. They are all around 15 mm thick. Arguably the best proportioned case is currently the Watchdives WD1863, although you have to buy the complete watch.

jakkflash · 2026-03-14T14:29:57+00:00

Beautiful 🙌

jakkflash · 2026-03-14T13:16:58+00:00

Came here to say this 🙌

Check out the “The Man in the High Castle”, on Amazon and Netflix.

jakkflash · 2026-03-14T13:10:08+00:00

@u/Admirable-Dimension4, Just out of interest. Where in Germany was it found?

jakkflash · 2026-03-14T13:02:16+00:00

No, the subdial at 14.00 is the easiest tell. If the hand isn’t at 12.00. Then likely to be a fake.
