]]> Comment on REACTOR INTRODUCES GRYPHON, THE ULTIMATE TACTICAL TIMEPIECE by Sonny Harris http://www.watchfreeks.com/blog/2012/04/11/reactor-gryphon/#comment-73 Sonny Harris Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:34:13 +0000 http://www.watchfreeks.com/blog/?p=370#comment-73 Reactor, I love the idea, but I am not impressed with the execution... speaking from a purely aesthetic perspective. The dial lacks any mystery or pizazz. For this to truly qualify as a military watch the luminescent markings have to be replaced. The blacked out bezel is the right idea, but the pebble/dimple finish is more like a texture you would expect on plastic. I am impressed with the concept of a polymer body, but the design of the body feels more like a square display plaque. If you are familiar with the early 80's model Saab 900, then you have first hand experience with a great idea that lacks curb appeal. I test drove one in 1985 for a ratings agency and was impressed with the handling and performance, but I could not get past the fact that the seat looked like it had just been "put" in the car from a stock off-the-shelf purchase and the other interior features that were functional but lacked design and appeal. Reactor,

I don't know how to post pictures as soon as I figure it out I'll add some.

I have a light box and 4 outside lights shooting at the item inside the light box. How will this piece of equipment assist and made close up shots better? Thanks!

I bought a very nice light ring by a company called Neewer. Got it for less than $40.00 on Amazon,com. I wasn't expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived it is just as good maybe even better than the expensive one I used to own. I would post a pic of it but don't know how.
