Pictures Don't Do These Things Justice!!!!

[mfer]

How many of us have seen a picture of a watch and said "Hate it! Love it! It's okay, but not my thing." etc, etc, etc.

I'm guilty of this. I never saw the appeal of the GMT IIc. I thought it looked disproportionate and said, "I'd never own it! I'd stick to the old GMT II". Then last week, I saw it for the first time..................bought it! Also, the TT Daytona with white dial. To me that thing looks like $h!t in pics, but trying it on is a totally different story. I mean this watch is cheaper than the SS version and I don't even like TT watches....


Panerai's always looked goofy to me, but then I see their appeal when looking at them in the real world. When the WG Blue Sub came out, EVERYONE (except two people, me included) wanted one. Now many people are saying how nice they look.

It goes the other way too. I LOVE the way the Polar Expy II looks, but I put it on and I'm sooooo disappointed. Even today I look at pics and it looks soooo good, but I just can't wear it. I'll probable change my mind again...

I guess all I'm saying is that I'm through making judgment on watches until I see them myself. I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe even the Leopard Daytona looks good!!!!!!
Ok, I'm on that one:
