[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 4259034, member: 13284"] No wrist shot today. Just a couple photos of a new 621 page reference book that arrived today. I'm honestly a little let down on some of the content, considering the book was $200. There's not really much in the way of details as to correct dial, hand, crown, and some caseback markings for specific manufactures (by production years). Just one example from each manufacturer, even though there were sometimes more than one variation of each model type, within a manufacturer. Over 200 pages is dedicated to just photocopies of the original contract specifications for each model. I'd rather have seen more info on the variations within each model type. There are lots of missing models as well. No USMC issued watches, no USN avigation watches, and there are only two Russian timepieces in the entire book. I am assuming that the author just included the pieces that were in his own collection. On the plus side, the photos are fantastic. All other reference books that I've considered buying had black and white photos with pretty poor resolution.
