    Air Ministry Photos

    To celebrate my 200th post, I composed a little photoshoot of the Smiths PRS-29AM. It’s a beautiful watch, the blued hands are difficult to capture, I think I’ve managed in a couple of shots. I hope you enjoy. Thanks again for welcoming me into the forum!

    You've captured the spirit of the watch very nicely. I wish my fumbling photography skills could do something like this.
    Thanks for posting.

    Such excellent shots of a great watch. In particular you've captured the blued hands superbly.

    I love how the hands look in the second photograph in particular, like liquid metal.

    In reality the hands looks dark blue or even black in most lights, but now and again that electric blue just flashes out of nowhere and I find myself staying at the watch again.

    Great pics ... the Air Ministry is the only one of Eddie's current 36mm stable that I don't have, and when I look at photos like this, I'm struggling to explain why that is LOL :)

    I'm reading Operation Mincemeat currently. These photos would make a great book cover.

    What a great book that is - and the best thing is, it’s all true!

    Great photos OP. I've steered away from a 2 piece strap on mine because of the longish lug length but might give it a go now.

    It does wear big that’s for sure, think it depends on your wrist size.

    Beautiful hand set! I ordered this watch today. I used to have Omega 6b159 and regret selling it. I hope this watch will have the same charm but more sturdy case and better WR.

    That’s pretty much exactly what it offers!
