Rolex Explorer 1016 v 114270 YouTube video (first effort)

[delldeaton]

Some feedback, please-- to get 2010 off to the right start.

Like so many of us here on TRF, the holidays have been nice in that they've given me just a little bit of time to experiment with some things that just don't seem to fit into any typical week. I do a lot of watch photography; and this year, tried my hand at some video.

This is an extremely simple side-by-side of two synchronized Explorer models, one from 1960, the other a D-Series that I aquired in 2008. The voice-over is me, done real-time; after which I added some commentary with the YouTube Annotation feature.

Of course there's an Ian Fleming / James Bond connection to this. So, with that, and all else, please do let me know what you think. Thanks!

PS: Maybe there's a way to embed a YouTube video on TRF? If so, I'd welcome that input, too.
