I think the camera angle is playing tricks with the image. The top picture looks good the rest look funny to me.

Macro focusing can be difficult. However, since the top one is my number 94, I am soooo excited. I can hardly stand it.

They look NICE! I was just rushing to take a few photos and pack em up so I didn't miss the UPS pickup. I only had a few minutes and if I missed him, we would have lost 2 days and they would have went out Monday.

I usually take some good pics, these were not so good, so I do apologize.

I love the fact that the individual serial number is engraved in a different font than that of the stamped back. It gives a semi 'hand-made' feeling just like the 928 was made years ago.

Nice! I can't wait Chris!!

Two thumbs up and a big grin.

I am used to wearing chronometers with lots of dials so the face seems very empty or clean, I like it.

Mine came with the porktensioner clasp so I'm not expecting any timing belt issues in the near future.

Absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Garrity's came in today and now I can't wait for mine! It is even higher quality than I hoped for. It is simply one beautiful watch.

In prudence, I'm getting Constantine's clamp for my watch. Thrust bearing failure on the watch's hands would be catastrophic. I know (too intimately) what it can do a 928's engine.
