Your pictures are outstanding, are you a professional? I can never get mine that sharp, do you use a box? That grey strap is really setting off the watch.

Travelller · 18 September 2012, 04:32 AM

Thx again, lads

Thx :) No, just an amateur photographer, but I've been doing the trial & error thing for quite some time, lol. I don't use a box - I don't really like the complete lack of a background that is usually the result of using a box and I use natural (indoor-daylight) lighting. Very rudimentary stuff, I admit...

As I'm always happy to share with anyone that asks, my recipe is trial & error plus a very sharp macro lens. I'm a Canon man, so in my case, the EF-S 60mm macro was perfect. It has paid for itself many times over, considering the quality of the results. This lens has three benefits; 1:1 macro capability, very sharp fixed (non-zoom) lens and coupled with an APS-C format body, doubles as a portrait lens too

love your shots!

Travelller · 4 October 2012, 09:40 AM

Today things were running smoother than usual in the office, so I took a few wrist shots...
...my first wrist shots ...ever.

Not quite there yet...

...but I'm working on it

DiverAsia · 4 October 2012, 09:51 AM

This thread has to be one of the best introductions to a new watch. Your photos are excellent. I get the feeling you are influencing a lot of people with them.
Thanks for the wrist shots, keep them coming!
Cheers!

HDHNTER · 4 October 2012, 10:12 AM

Love the 233 & as for your pics...

Now your talking!!!!! That watch looks phenomenal with the outfit!!!!!!!!

TheBeardedTaff · 20 March 2020, 10:01 PM

seriously they're stunning, and as a deliberator as to whether to splash the cash on a 233, this is certainly making my decision easier

Ok Nishant, it'll be a while before you find yourself that 368...
...so a 233 should keep you happy 'till then...

It's a D9 Swiss ammo. Have a look at my review. I like his work so much I already have a 26x26 on order for my 217

18 mths or so later on and I'm still rockin' the 233

~~~~~

Of course, it's going to be a little harder for my 233 to get that much wrist-time in 2014...

Beautiful pictures, watch in great shape after 118 months!

Flstfirider · 20 April 2014, 12:57 AM

Congrats, the 233 is, in my opinion, one of the most significant models Panerai has ever made. It has all the best features, domed crystal, in house 8 day movement, sandwich dial, 1950 case, I could go on and on!

My I series dot dial

Travelller · 20 September 2014, 10:33 AM

Two years later and my 233 is still getting a whole lot of wrist-time...

Hey Travelller, I have really enjoyed all of your posts of your 233 over this past year and your 233 review is a classic.

Here is my small contribution to your 233/grey strap combo

Travelller · 22 September 2014, 07:22 AM

Thx guys
