She contacted me via Instagram and requested the use of some of my pics. I guess I will have to buy the book now to see if I'm in it.

stainlesssteve · 11 August 2017, 08:30 AM

How much did you pay for the book? I'm seeing listed on Amazon for $500?

You should at least get a free book , if not a fee, if your photograhy is used.

THC · 11 August 2017, 09:20 AM

Awesome... will check it out

bdex75 · 11 August 2017, 09:58 AM

Very cool to see TRF represented in the book. I have heard that they are coming out with a new LE Rolex book that is $2500?? Anyone else heard this too? Their Tudor book is solid as well.

Found her note, she did offer a discount for use of the photos.

tkerrmd · 11 August 2017, 11:42 PM

thanks guys it is a great book, it is expensive and I did pay for it although no were near $500.

also they asked permission to use the photo with no free book or payment. just making your watch famous I guess.

there are hundreds and hundreds if not thousand of pictures in this book

people want me to look through the book and tell them if their watch is in it, ah that aint gonna happen!

kelv_w · 30 August 2017, 03:32 AM

Mine came through today

Pretty good information about various models and also photos from watch enthusiasts. Tons of photos to drool over.

My BLNR was featured in the book too

others and a lot more with some pretty insane collection

Sneak peak on some of the pages inside

toucan · 30 August 2017, 04:59 AM

Some of my images were used but the book was still to pricey to buy, imo.
In my other photography career if an image of mine is used , the author always sends a copy of the book for free. So in all honesty I was a little disappointed .

2ltdjorn · 30 August 2017, 05:02 AM

Haha! Awesome!

I'm "kinda" big deal!

i like mine. it has every rolex model ever made. i have no excuse to ever not know now.

Loevhagen · 30 August 2017, 05:29 AM

Made it to the cover and inside. The photo in the book is from a series of shots where I experimented with smoke photography and the 216570. I was offered to buy a copy of the book. I have not bought it as I really don't need the book.

Isn’t that copyright infringement for using photos for profit without consent by originator?

returntorolex · 30 August 2017, 07:08 PM

Congrats to Tom and others who are featured!

DJRikki · 31 August 2017, 07:37 PM

Can someone that's read through their copy possibly take a pic of the page the photo I sent in appears on ? Not purchased mine yet but keen to see if its in and what size it ended up :)

Thanks!

giorgia · 25 September 2017, 10:41 PM

thanks for sharing :)
if someone else sent me the photo to be published, please email me, the books are ready for the delivery and you can still have your discount

Im curious about this as well. It is a very neat thing to do and a genius marketing tactic but I don't think there were any contracts signed.

We were invited to send in our pictures for publication in this book absolutely no issues.
