Thank you for the warning, Chip. Fortunately, I was able to blow right past the Orange monstrosity and admire the other ones.

Great pictures Chip and I like the Orange PO,but prefer the white dial
Aqua Terra with the lovely blue hands.

President Rolex · 24 January 2006, 07:18 PM

I don't have any Omega models in my collection but, if I did thoes would be the ones.

Congratulations on a very stunning Omega collection.

I am thinking that some day I will pick up a Moon watch.

Subfiend · 26 January 2006, 08:59 AM

Ordinarily, the Seamaster does nothing for me. BUT THAT AQUA TERRA IS GORGEOUS!!!

BruceS · 26 January 2006, 02:34 PM

The sick thing is that he has not even been doing it for a year Randy. He is still experimenting, the man can flat take some pics, eh?

was just sendin you a pm, you know that I really really want 3 watches

op 88, UN chrono exactly like the one in your pic, and either a daytona or breitling bentley or chronomat, you have 2 of the 3 I want, we think alike

for now I am spending my money on hawaii and disneyland and plasma tvs and grandkids, someday I will have a couple more watches...

i really want the gmt anniv green dial...

SLRdude · 29 January 2006, 01:10 PM

Thanks guys!
I took my first watch picture on May 2nd of 2005.
Still shooting with a five years old Canon point and shoot.

I have some better pics that I took the other day with a borrowed Digital SLR but it was brought up to my attention that my pics are too big. That was my fault for not reading the rules of the forum.

What can I say... I am a man. What self respecting man reads the instruction manual??

The thing is that I don't have anything that's 640 by 480.
I can post links if you would like to see more.

What can I say, we both have great taste, LOL!! I figured you would love the new GMT, lots of GOLD in it for ya.

The UN just never smiled at me, it was the white dial I think. So that is what left to make room for the GMT (forever known to me as the Randy combo).

I have actually started socking money away for my next purchase, hopefully by the spring I will do some adding without subtracting too.

SLRdude · 29 January 2006, 01:20 PM

don't wanna get in trouble.

Speedy Dial

Speedmaster on strap

Speedmaster/Hesalite

Aqua Terra Chronograph

AT Chrono Dial

AT Chrono

How close can you get??

AT in Black and White

SMP Ti

SMP Ti

SMP Ti side

Closer...

And even closer...

Approaching the camera limits

And that's about it!

dman · 29 January 2006, 01:22 PM

Chip, you are the man!!

RandyS · 29 January 2006, 01:23 PM

fantastic, we need to take up collection and buy you a meteorite dial daytona for some really good pics!

SLRdude · 29 January 2006, 01:25 PM

thanks guys.
give me a few days to learn this SLR stuff and I promise that I will improve some. It is a lot more different that using the point and shoot I used to take the pics posted at the start of this thread.

Mastering the light is way more important than a fancy camera.
Learn the light and you will have great pics.
Get a fancy camera without learning the light... you will end up with huge bad pics. LOL
I've seen your pics Daren and you got the light on your side already. Get the lightbox and it can only get better.

you would figure it out if you had to

i dont know what light box you are thinking of, but they can be tricky, Micah made me one once, it worked, but I had to do alot of maneuvering and I just ran out of interest, I bought this

http://www.ottlite.com/productdetail.asp?product_id=19

and by positioning it I get pretty good pics but nothing like coma or micah, i am just too lazy and old to try and do that
