I like the Avenger! Could never wear it myself, too small wrists.

What size wrist do you have? I have 7.5" size wrists and it wears like this...



I see that you have a 14060! That was my first Rolex! I loved it, but I missed the date function hence I got the SD.

Wow nice pictures Chip

Do you need to set up a light box and special lighting for those pictures you took. How can you shoot the dark background but the objects image still stand out?

This one is my favorite.


I have the same Omega, well almost, yours is newer. I don't have the orange accents on the chapter ring. But, my brother borrowed it for ONE DAY five months ago

Here are a few more.

Note: The Speedy Pro in my pics is now owned by Mike.





This one is a pic taken with a super cheap point and shoot, combined with a pic I took of down town Dallas.



This was a point and shoot image on the hood of my car... background is photoshop.



Point and shoot pic of the AquaTerra, dancers photographed at some show... all done in PS by me.



This below was probably the third watch pic that I ever took. It was May 12 2005, one week after I bought the watch. Shot on my lawn chair in my back yard with a handheld point and shoot.



For the shot below I had the shutter open for 30 seconds! I like the way the hands look like a helicopter blade.



And I guess a 10:10 close up would be OK



This thing looks TOUGH



Ever been inside a vintage Speedmaster Pro?











It really is... The Right Stuff.

Great photos Chip!

I didn't know that the CA subdials had concentric circles

What material are you using as the background which looks slike carbon fibre?
