I think we need a xxx section - posting pics like that makes my keyboard wet! And my wallet run & hide ..

[Daddelvirks]

Very fine stuff indeed.
Makes me even more ashamed not having posted one home-made pic myself

Cheers,

Daddel.

Well, thanks for the chosen topic! It's high time to say "Hi!" and to introduce myself. :wave:

I'm in the 30+ late twenties and like both modern and vintage watches.

Unfortunately, when the Rolex bug bites it bites hard. But first things first. I started my collection with this beauty:

Eterna KonTiki Chronograph (1591.41.40)


(This picture was taken before it's first service.)

[allyouneed]

fantastic photos !

[PeterM]

Welcome Roland.

What can I say other than that's some truly great pics :)

[allyouneed]

very great

[BaBa]

Stunning pictures.

[Bloobird]

Great, not only do I want a new watch or two but now I've convinced myself I need a macro lens for the camera. This site is clearly going to cost me a fortune...

[fkdsm]

Really great pics.
Wonder how some people come up with such original idea's in photographing a watch in so
many different ways.

For presenting my own collection, stealing sometimes some idea's.

Thx for the pics
Feike

[ctgent]

Wonderful images - they're an inspiration!

Thanks for sharing!

[Dave in Wales]

Thanks for that.

[melhick]

Excellent photo's,just wish I could achieve the same!Ah well will keep trying :roll:

[JustaHunch]

Welcome to the forum and great photo's :)

[dmcfarlane]

Fantastic pics. It seems more and more that watch collecting/photography are merging into one and the same hobby!!

[hypophyse]

Thanks for the compliments! :)

After long time lurking in Rolex forums I bought a GMT-C. For me it's the most beautiful modern watch.

[hypophyse]

In March I attended Munich watch fair and had no clue what I was doing. There are so many (partial) fakes around. :shock:

But with the help of some german "silverbacks" I managed to get a Submariner 5512.







The vintage bug has bitten me pretty bad ... :mrgreen:

[hypophyse]

Hi. Anybody here? :wink:

The next one was a Sea-Dweller from 1998 with slightly-creamy patina.







I don't want to talk about this one ... seriously.

I lost it.

[lou]

Wow stunning :shock:

[mr1973]

I lost it.

Now how did that happen :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Btw, the Munich watch fair is quite a slippery slope. Too many of those Italian thugs over there with their Frankenwatches. But it's always nice to have a short chitchat with James Dowling ;-)

[no.3]

Wow stunning :shock:

+1

[nickg]

fantastic
wish I could take pics like that

[ingenioren]

Hi and welcome Roland,
some really inspirational pics there and nice collection, although I'm no Rolex man myself - the pics were brilliant :shock:
What equipment do you use and settings ???
Cheers Peter :wink:

[Qatar-wol]

Lovely photography, really - thanks for posting.

But your GMTII-c pics illustrate my problem with that watch - I don't think I can deal with flat crystals and no anti-reflective... :cry:

[langdalematt]

Now that is a watch. There is an old military sub going on Ebay at the moment and it looks awesome. I just wish I had the cash to buy it, I reckon could well go near the 20k mark or more

[erics]

some talent in here

[hypophyse]

What equipment do you use and settings ???

I'm using an old cam in automatic macro mode and Photoshop. One of the best ways to shoot a great photo is simply by shooting many of them.

I don't think I can deal with flat crystals and no anti-reflective... :cry:

Nevertheless, it's easy to read, much better than the Deepsea. Reflections add some kind of bling too. 8)

But it's always nice to have a short chitchat with James Dowling ;-)

He had two(!) amazing 3-6-9 Subs with him.

I lost it.

Now how did that happen :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I showed it to my girlfriend.


She tried it.


She liked it.


She kept it! :shock:








"Look into my eyes!" is an often heard sentence these days. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[Chinnock]

Stunning....especially in black & white.

[Ari]

Brilliant photos indeed!

Bit concerned about this one though, hope you didn't get frostbite! :shock:

[hypophyse]

Err, I forgot to show you my last watch. :shock:

Datejust 1603.







There's more to come. I hate Munich. 8) :D
