Fun Video: BLNR on Everest Blue Rubber

[Chadridv]

Just having some fun last night with a new camera technique. Enjoy!

[pw98]

Cool man!

[CoveWatch]

wow it really pops! looks fun definitely

[hbombkid]

Looks good always thought blue rubber looked better than black for this model. I think white would look ok for summer as well.

[watchmework]

That’s really awesome Chadri, nice work and thanks for sharing!

This is so freakin cool. My BLNR will have time on a rubber b strap at some point. Yours looks amazing!

Have you worn a watch on a rubber strap? They’re extremely comfortable. I think it’s fun to occasionally put a rubber strap on especially one that compliments a minor color on the dial or bezel. By no means is the op discarding his bracelet. I think you’re being a bit harsh here.

That's the new theme in this forum, only say nice, sweet comments of approval. Everything must be liked, everyone goes only one way.

Sorry, but if someone posts in a public forum he and everyone else should be open to all opinions. If you want only people who post "cool" comments, then maybe that should be stated in all thread titles.

Amazing shot. Whats the technique called?

Seriously? Big difference between saying you don't care for something, and acting like a complete dick. I love varying opinions. There are quite a few in this thread that say in a totally respectful way that they don't care for the look. You see anyone getting on their case?

Looking fantastic.

I live this video. And a huge fan of rubber on a Rolex. It’s my preferred way.

I don't think I could pull off white. Maybe with my white dial daytona. I do have a black everest band as well, which looks great IMO. I was surprised how much I liked the blue though.

Rubber B looks great, especially on the BLNR

Yeah I am very happy with blue, but I change straps faster than underwear haha. Already have a glidelock bracelet on my BLNR today.

Obviously you're just trying to look cool, among a bunch of watch nerds

Yeah I completely agree. The Oysterflex is also a killer strap. Ya know the one Rolex makes and has become wildly popular lol.

It's not my favorite look for the watch, perhaps it's not even my favorite color, but it certainly makes it fun to mix it up.

Damn, sorry, didn't take any "behind the scenes" photos. I;ll try to explain a little bit though below.

Thank you guys! Much appreciated.

So I shot a sunset time lapse for work the other night. I basically played that time-lapse back on my computer screen over a 3.5 minute span, while also placing the watch on a piece of wood in front of the screen. Lit the watch (rather poorly actually) and used a motorized slider with a rotating camera mount, so to keep the watch centered (or close to it) in the screen. I programmed the slider to go about 18 inches over the same span of 3.5 minutes.

The rest was all video editing.

I'm gonna try it again, but this time by taking about 1000 photographs. This time I used live video which demand a lot more light and couldn't be anywhere near as sharp. Next time I'll shoot it with a very small aperture so the entire watch is super sharp.

I was not even paying attention of the actual OP username :)

I know you said maybe white strap on the Daytona, and might be ok but no way it’s looking better than Oysterflex with the end links hehe

Hopefully my endlinks will be here soon from George. Sub ones won’t fit but he gladly fixed the issue. Sending me Daytona ones as I know they fit but they are brushed.
