    Cool Post your TOP 5 watches, with wristshots

    My favourite 5 watches, with wristshots, in descending order:

    What a great pic.
    Captures the true color and the beauty of the Hulk👍👍

    OP,nice pics.
    Personally,have never been able to carry off the hand in the pocket wristshot. But yours came out quite well.

    Nice post, OP, the Gucci case is very interesting. I think the Gucci and the Rado have the edge over the CW.

    Manganr, perhaps just 1, but a great one :)

    Rajen, thanks :)

    GrandS, thank you. It is interesting you say that, because for me the Gucci is a distant 5th. I much prefer the Rado to it, and it feels paper light on the wrist despite being a solid bracelet, being ceramic. But really my 1st & 2nd are far ahead of the other three as favourites.

    At the moment probably these five:

    By the way,they are crap photos because photobucket is rubbish and I can't access my decent shots at the moment so you'll have to put up with these.

    Seiko 6105-8119



    Doxa 750T LE Sharkhunter

    ]

    Omega Seamaster Megaquartz




    Zodiac (no you can't have it back......)




    Tudor Black Bay



    Breitling SuperOcean Heritage

    ]


    Ah...that's six. Ah well.

    Some poor photography from me, I'll practice on the watch photography.
    Not sure which order they will appear but we have.
    An Omega Connie Gold fill case hidden crown circa 66'; An Omega 70' Mk|| (currently receiving replacement racing dial at STS); An Omega Great White on Blue Isofrane; A 75' Seiko Pogue Pepsi Dial and the latest and loveliest a 78' Baby PloProf (Notice Tritium has collapsed causing a skeleton hand effect)

    What a wonderful range of watches posted by everyone!

    I'll have to get some wrist shots sorted in the next week, but current top 5 out of the safe;

    Patek 5711 Blue dial
    WG Daytona Black Arabic dial
    Sea-Dweller
    Deep Sea Sea-Dweller
    Sub 16610LV / or Sub 116610LVc

    Far too tricky to restrict to a top 5. Can we do a top 10?
    It's just a matter of time...

    How about you can have as many as you can fit on your arm in one go?

    It's also been difficult to whittle it down to five. In no particular order:

    Picking 5 isn't easy as it changes from week to week, but here are the current top 5

    What are the different models of car in your post?

    Now that's a good idea for a Friday thread!

    Healey 100/6, Bean 14 hillclimb car, XK120, DB5 (note hinge on gear leaver) and P1 GTR.

    OP I really love your Rado! I myself would have never gave the watch a second glance if I saw it in a shop, but it looks really good on the wrist!

    Thanks :) Yes, it wears and looks a lot nicer on the wrist than one would expect. It's also not popular on watch forums, so rarely seen here I guess.

    Great thread and some gorgeous watches on display. The wrist shots do help to give some perspective to the size of some these.
