Icon20 <<<Winners of the Audemars Piguet RO/ROO Photo Contest>>>

First and foremost thank you all for submitting all those amazing pictures! It was fun but also very challenging to pick only three winners. Considering the quality of the pictures shared, I had to add a '4th place runner up' as his submission was also really good. I really wish I had more goodies to give to each and every one of you. Unfortunately the 4th place won't receive a prize but at least he will receive the recognition for sharing a great picture.

The top three winners will receive a nice cap. Please PM me the address where you would like to receive it.

Now here are the winners:

1st. Prize - Bodybump Comments: I just couldn't choose one picture. So here are the two winning images of the ROO Panda Dial. Amazing macro shot and great lighting. Images than can sell a watch even to the least interested individual. Jocke could've taken this picture, seriously!!! Are you sure it was you Oscar???

2nd. Prize - cgjane Comments: Amazing composition, great lighting, excellent color palette and perfect angle from top to bottom. The picture also shows the versatility of the AP RO Chrono that can be worn with a nice dress shirt and jeans and not only with a suit.

3rd Prize - PSV Comments: Excellent picture of the hottest AP watch right now in TRF and everywhere else. Excellent composition showing the ruggedness of the watch placed on a worn out piece of wood. This picture portrays a diving watch away from it's natural environment and that is just great! The picture has a beautiful blurred background with a nice yellow color that contrasts with the blackness of the AP ROO Diver.

4th Runner Up - roh123 Comments: Excellent picture with a beautiful close up and great angle and lighting technique. The combination between the gray slate and the white dial are just perfect. The picture features a true classic RO in SS.
