How a bad pic can cheapen a Rolex!
Snapped a quick pic of a couple of my watches the other day; terrible lighting and bad background...
 WOW, how a bad pic can make expensive watches look really bad.

Even a bad pic of a Rolex can't make them look bad, sure enough you're no Jocke though!

Agreed no need for a professional polish, looks like they could use a cleaning with some soap and water. Great references though!

You have 2 great timepieces; but I think a different background would help immensely; maybe something darker or with natural tones to make the gold pop!

They look like very dirty watches that are seldom, if ever, cleaned. And there's probably some serious growth going on between the links. Thank you for sharing with us.

They look good to me. You're kinda saying that a supermodel looks ugly in the morning. I'll take Kate upton anytime - day, night or morning.

If you posted that DD in the "watch out" section everyone would say it's fake.

I don't think the pale pink backround helped any.
2 great watches though. |
