But it is so elegant..

applebook · 29 April 2011, 10:57 AM

...and I say that it's the pinnacle of modern Rolex

Not too shabby pictures either.

Michael M. · 29 April 2011, 11:03 AM

Very nice pictures, beautiful daytona!

horseco · 29 April 2011, 11:03 AM

I kinda wish Rolex kept the Daytona a precious metal only...

dddrees · 29 April 2011, 11:26 AM

I disagree entirely. SS watches allow us normal folks the luxury of owning a high-end watch. I really appreciate that upper-mid-range manufacturers like JLC and Blancpain make most of their watches in SS variants. If only Audemars, Vacheron, and Patek would do the same.

I agree, fine design and engineering without the shouting.

Those first two pictures should be used in a Rolex ad - no joke, you should seriously contact them. Amazing!

threemonkeys · 29 April 2011, 02:37 PM

Wow, Eduardo, these pics belong in a Rolex catalog.

Andad · 29 April 2011, 02:59 PM

X2. If anything, the sport watches should be in SS only

Very nice pics!!

What camera / lense / settings do you use to take these?

rolexsweep · 29 April 2011, 06:37 PM

love the photos!!! really do!

GolfPunk · 29 April 2011, 06:57 PM

Cracking pictures. My one and only Rolex! I think they should be mainly in Stainless Steel as it is a sports watches primarily. (that said, the black faced is so elegant it is great as a dress watch also IMO)

frank gama · 29 April 2011, 07:01 PM

=stunning pictures

moviefreak · 29 April 2011, 07:05 PM

Thanks for all the nice comments.... The setup is incredible basic... Watch just laying on the table... Flash on the camera pointing up to the ceiling for a bouncing effect... Hand held camera.. No tripod or anything special... Shooting speed 1/250 and f11 or f13 if I remember correctly.
I think the equipment is the one that helped a lot...mostly the lens... Camera is a Canon 7D...and the lens is a MP-E 65mm special for extreme macro close-up images... It will go up to 5x.... Most macro lenses only do 1x and that's it.
Cheers,
Eduardo

Chris B · 29 April 2011, 08:04 PM

z32turbo · 29 April 2011, 08:29 PM
