Opinions on this picture

What is your opinion? Good enough for a contest?(Not artistic) If not why? BTW, it has to be big, sorry. =) maverick

Great work Dennis!! The only thing I would say is to maybe use a timer, if your camera has one, that would kill the reflection.

But that is a superb pic pal!!

Dman, you got the eye! It is the only one I took with that shine at the top of the bezel. That is all I can see wrong so far. I have others identical without that reflection. I am saving them for something special. It is my new light box set-up. A white plastic garbage can and some lights from Wally World. =) maverick
And yes the cyclops area would need a little cleaning up. thanks for pointing that out though. :-)

Nice picture. The only criticism I could make is like the others said, the reflection in the cyclops and I'd add, the crystal and parts of the bezel are a bit dirty. Anyway as was said earlier, Ed now has a new wallpaper.

Funny thing is a really like the GMT Master with the black bezel but my local AD has just taken delivery of some and told me they don't sell as well as the Subs.

You guys know me too well. When I saw that picture, I knew I had found my new wallpaper. That was after I had at least three orgasms looking at it.

Well must admit never had any interest in the GMT,but the more I see
the black bezel version the more I like it.

Looks like someone took your ExpII and put an odd dial and bezel combination on it.

Living in the desert causes that. It is best if I wash off the watches real good prior to taking any photos. Thanks guys, =) maverick
