I'm amazed how good these cell phone pics can be...



Bored at a meeting and noticed an opportune time to snap a 10:10 pic!

Hope you guys like my cell phone pic!

nice.

Looks good. Must have had pretty good light.
Doesn't hurt that it's a pic of my favorite watch either.

Nice shot! Yes, the picture quality of some phones is amazing.

And I guess you keep the 24 hr hand on GMT. I keep mine in GMT - 6, even though I'm in GMT - 8, because that's Mexico's time zone! That way, when I'm traveling, I don't need to think too much about finding a good time to call home.

Yup, I always try to keep the green on GMT. I'm starting to learn many of the timezones +-. For example, HK is GMT +8 so, I just turn the bezel to +8 and I know the time without calculation. Plus, it is helping me with my geography!

With any camera its 40% camera and 60% photographer and cell phones can be very
good.Below taken with the Sony K800I cell phone on macro mode please excuse the spider she was browsing the Rolex brochure at the time.

Agreed Padi. I really want a DSLR and keep hinting to my wife to the point of being blunt. How many times can I say Nikon D40 in a day!

Cool! A spider WIS!!! Great shot too.

I like photography (I'm an amateur, though, and not a good one), and I like this analogy: seeing a good picture and telling the photographer that he must have a good camera is like eating something tasty and telling the chef that he must have some really nice pots and pans.

I never knew that the GMT IIc has a carbon like texture to the bezel. That watch is so incredible. It just keeps on growing on me every time I see it. Sadly it is far out of my price range for now.

Beautiful just the same and wear it in good health.

Thanks for the comment guys. I'm not sure about the carbon bezel you guys are talking about. That is most likely the reflection of the ceiling in the cafeteria.

I'd say the bezel looks more reflective like this. Not a cell phone pic, but a simple point and shoot.

Yeah. Close call. They are all definitely keepers in my book. Just need to be patient and save money the old fashion way.
