Wow more than my Rolex? 2010 MSRP $49700.00 That's one hell of a camera !!

SaddleSC · 18 September 2010, 04:41 AM

I only have one issue with this watch and that is...I am not quite sure it is flashy enough for my tastes. It seems very understated and I am not sure anyone would really notice it! (SARCASM)

Just Kidding. I think you took some great pics. That is a true classic. The meteorite dial is one of my all-time favorites. Well done.

InVision · 18 September 2010, 07:11 AM

Well Dan I got a weekend project. I found a white light cube in my attic and going to modify it. Thx Mike

rfknauss · 18 September 2010, 07:21 AM

Mike, that is one awesome Rolex!

EchoBlueUK · 18 September 2010, 07:55 AM

Not my cup of tea but each to their own i suppose.

ersnyder · 18 September 2010, 08:08 AM

Nice piece of gold Mike, a beauty!!

SLS · 18 September 2010, 08:17 AM

Very nice! Now I understand why you have been selling off a few items! Congrats and enjoy the DD.

mailman · 18 September 2010, 08:21 AM

That's sweet as hell Mike

Great wrist shot too

imono · 18 September 2010, 10:13 AM

Mike, like you I have a problem too getting a perfect shot.
I am still trying to get the best angle and color.
Direct sunlight and florescent light are the worst lighting scenario for blings.
And when you think you get it Mike, remember to let the hour and minute hand smile at the Ten and Two.
And make sure too the second hand does not block any words, letters or even the cyclops window.
I'll try to find something similar to what Dan suggested.

One tip - move the camera around so as it does not reflect on the watch lens.
We have seen many pictures of the watches front where the crystal lens reflects the camera as well as the photographer's hands pressing the button!

InVision · 18 September 2010, 07:21 PM

Well I got a light box. Will shoot tomorrow in full daylight and see if I can get a good photo of the Meteorite Diamond DD. Thanks Dan for the tip !!

dddrees · 18 September 2010, 07:25 PM

Awesome looking Watch.

Picture Smicture, you have the real thing, Enjoy!!!

travisb · 18 September 2010, 07:38 PM

Meteorite dials can be very difficult to photograph. Beautiful watch

Jocke · 18 September 2010, 08:09 PM

Just try to do like this.

Practice my friend, pratice. Or maybe a visit in Sweden.

Johny · 18 September 2010, 08:38 PM

wow lovely pic jocke

HL65 · 18 September 2010, 09:39 PM

Mike -great shots and beautiful DD!!!

z32turbo · 18 September 2010, 10:39 PM

All I can say is WOW!!!!

fc3s2k · 19 September 2010, 01:14 AM

Great watch! Nice shots too, just not for me, maybe on my 65th bday but. That 35 yeArs away! (better start saving though).

InVision · 19 September 2010, 02:13 AM

Shots with light box. I guess I'll start saving for a round trip ticket to Sweden. Mike

FremStar · 19 September 2010, 02:20 AM

Damn that dial is serious... I am a big mop (black dial) kind of collector but you may just draw me over to the meteorite side... First the 116718 and now this! Invision aka the enabler

pics are not quite Jocke status yet but still breathtaking!!!

Mike, You can also play around with the lights like Jocke does in his pictures.

Me play around? How can you say that.

Here is how it looks in my light box at the moment.

And here is what I've got.

I'm not playing with the lights, I just turn them on.

InVision · 19 September 2010, 02:40 AM

Man you are good at photoing watches...

You are truly a master Jocke.

For me all you need are some props, window light and some editing.

I tried to edit your photo but I don't have photoshop, you need to ask Jocke about that.
