 My ring. 50mm reversed. The outsides are tungsten and therefore scratch resistant, the inside band is platinum, and you can see how scratched-up that has gotten (it started our as smooth as the tungsten).

WOW! Great job with the details, the scratches look like frost on a window! I was going to ask if the middle was platinum, that's what my ring looks like too!

One question. Why aren't cars made of tungsten? ;\


Isn't there an old joke about why planes aren't made out of the same stuff as the black boxes? :-)

I did use the reversing ring. While it is cool, it's very painful to focus: I've got to get some rails.

Whoa! It's great to see the details of such an ordinary object. The contrast between the two types of metal is amazing. And I thought platinum was stronger... This almost has a microscope quality.
