Top chap!
I tend to be (mainly) a weekend poster these days, but even so I seem to be fast approaching a post milestone. I've given away a fair few freebies in my time and it's a bit old hat now, so I had an idea for a slightly left of centre give-away that may appeal to a few on here. Anyway, this is what I was thinking...
1) Anyone who fancies me taking some photos of their watch collection (up to three watches and - say - about half a dozen photos of each) post on this thread.
2) At noon next Sunday I'll call a halt and draw a name from all those who've posted.
3) I'll pay for insured postage (I have a Parcel Pro account so value isn't an issue) for up to three watches to be sent to me; or we could arrange a F2F in central London if that's easier.
4) I'll take some nice shots of the watches concerned and then return them to the owner, again fully insured and at my cost.
I've got no idea if this will be of much interest, but at least it's something a bit different. Anyway, post away if you're up for it
Edit: I didn't think for a minute that there'd be such an enthusiastic response, so I'll shoot one watch for the second name picked as well.
Top chap!
“Don’t look back, you’re not heading that way.”
What an incredibly decent offer.
Many thanks. I'm in.

I'd be VERY interested in that!
F2F in central London as well :)
With a fundraiser donation, naturally.
I've not been here long but this place is awesome, count me in please!
Excellent idea!

What a cool and generous idea
You're not learning, you're soaring!
What an incredibly generous gesture!
Count me in :-)
Wonderful gesture Tony. I am hopeless with my pictures!
I was just thinking the other day that I wished someone of your skill could take some photos of my watches. Please count me in.
The hard decision would be which three!
Great gesture and love the thinking to use your skills (and they appear to be many!) in this innovative way. I'm in and if drawn will make a donation to the Fundraiser.
Nice gesture T.
Can the winner select the lighting level?

I'm in please - I know I take the p1ss, but you do take really good pictures.

Did I mention I now have a 100 in the collection!
Generous offer on your part. Can you PM me what camera and lens you use.
Thanks,
Brian
Nice gesture Tony
Any chance you'll take a couple of softly lit 'boudoir' photos of me too
Will you be bringing your avatar assistant?

Great idea Tony, i'll put Hayley in the post if i win too.
Her mate had some raunchy pics done just before her wedding but Hayley is resisting doing it!
Great idea Tony and very generous of you to do this ... hope I get picked as photography is something Ill never be good at and to have some of your shots of my watches would be great!
Nice gesture. I am not in, live in the Netherlands so no need for high postage costs. I do hope you get some forum favorites or also cheaper watches like the skx007. Most stunning shots from you and Jocke are from higher end watches but you guys are skilled enough to make me want any watch.
Another one of your excellent posts. What a fantastic offer!! Count me in please.
I am in too!!
Thanks Tony - great offer.
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee memememememememeeeee me me me me
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
That's a very generous offer, please count me in, Nick
Very kind offer Tony. As I have the photographic ability of a slice of Edam, I'll throw my name into the hat.
Great idea and a generous offer. I'm guessing it's limited to UK folks only, in which case I'm out. Would love some LTF pics of my Ariadne though, it's very hard for me to get shots that flatter the watch and show its true beauty.
Good luck to all.
How about a F2F in NY?😃
Yes please Tony. Count me in.Thanks A great gesture.
Count me in too! Great gesture and idea.
Cool.
Great stuff, I'll have at that too!
Already won one comp on the first day I joined so I'll try my luck again!
Very kind offer. Count me in.
(Can do f2f London easy).
That's quite a milestone Tony!
Unfortunately I don't think I've any watches worthy of your photography skills but great gesture anyway!
definitely in!!! thanks tony!
Wow, generous and great offer.
Count me in
