#274 of 1000....Thank you Rusty,pelican3, ventura57 and Wally...our discussions taught me about these Limited Editions and helped me make my decision that I am EXTREMELY happy with...

 

[Tom Barry]

Ventura fever - it must be going around!

 

[BlueHawaii]

Truly beautiful. The Ventura will always be my hands down favorite watch. Congrats!

Oof!!!:w00t:

 

[Rusty]

Hello gorgeous! (to quote B. Streisand when she won an Oscar)

Based upon the number engraved below the crown, that is one of the models intended for the Japanese market. Only 1000 were made of each color/style.

Rusty on another thread - "I would get it so foggy and I could be like Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier in The Defiant Ones."


So does this make you and me Frank and Dean? Part of the Rat Pack

 

[Rusty]

And we did it OUR WAY. . .!

 

[MacDaddy]

I officially want one now. I've always wanted a Ventura in yellow gold with a black face. I have the chrono version is SS. Now I want this version.

Congrats mgiraz #274 is killer. Great photos.
Enjoy and wear it well.:thumbup1:

 

[Rusty]

My question is . . . how did you manage to shoot so many angles without getting your reflection in the crystal or case?

 

[mgiraz]

Wore a dark shirt and stood in between the light source and angled it until the reflection was at its minimum:blink::confused1::001_unsure: In other words.....Lucky!

 

[mgiraz]

Rusty, Does yours have a deployant? That is one thing that I would criticize. I ordered one today.

 

[Rusty]

Mine does not and I am thinking about one.

 

[mgiraz]

Also....Would you ever consider painting your tip of the second hand red like the original....I wonder what Rene's veiw would be?

 

[Rusty]

I don't think I would do that nor do I anticipate painting my finger or toenails, if that was going to be your next question.:blink:

 

[mgiraz]

Now...now..put your gaydar away!

 

[pelikan3]

Sorry, forgot to offer my congratulations! Welcome to the club!

So, if I may ask, if you look at the face from the side, is the shape of the face itself more curved, as if it parallels the curve of the crystal? Or, is the face flat?

I ask because the last few generations of the standard Ventura are made with flat faces beneath the curved crystal. The 50th anniversary Stainless has the curved face.

Thanks!

Hard for me to tell...You know what to look for...Do these pics show you?
