Hi everyone,
Just registered today. Thought by way of introduction I would post pics of my latest acquisitions.
I had browsed the old forum but found it very hard to follow threads. This looks like a great improvement.
I know very little about these 6105-8110's so any comments will be greatly received.
I'm specifically looking for any information re the different heights of the crystals. Not sure if pics are good enough (Have just found an 'archived' thread saying that there were 4 different variations of the crystal under the same ref no.)
The originality of the bezels - and what to look for.
Any owners comments re wearing on the waffle strap. I have been advised to swap it but all the horror stories of snapping vintage rubber seem to be at least 2nd hand, so what's the consensus on here?
The one without the strap came from it's original owner in Texas. It's currently missing a movement/case ring but will go on either an olive or black Nato when I can afford the service.
The one on the waffle came from England via a well known auction site.
I'm living 'Down Under' in Brisbane.
Hopefully I can get some daylight pics taken soon. These were done inside a plastic storage container, on the dining table under my dodgy lamp.
Any tips re correctly sizing pics, or any mistakes I've made also greatly appreciated.
Cheers guys
Ian
