I know there's an all encompassing Daytona photo thread, but I wanted to start a separate thread so I don't threadjack the other one.

When I took the pics I was considering putting the Daytona right on the sand like the Rolex ad... but I couldn't bear the thought of it being possibly being washed away.

Which pic do you prefer?

A

or B

frostie · 15 December 2007, 10:18 PM

I voted for A but both pics are outstanding

BLSampson · 15 December 2007, 11:17 PM

A

Dan Pierce · 16 December 2007, 12:25 AM

Any pic with a Rolex and Maui is alright with me.

A

Letsgodiving · 16 December 2007, 01:36 AM

Great pics but I voted A. B is a good pic but might be better if you cropped the top a little. JMHO.

kingblackbolt · 16 December 2007, 01:54 AM

A... but B is very well done as well!

JJ Irani · 16 December 2007, 03:19 AM

I had to vote for A 'cause the watch has more concentration on.

B could have been better if the watch was more centralised in the frame and made to look bigger.

I had to go with the majority. The composition of A is much better than B. Neither pic is bad, though.

SSD · 16 December 2007, 09:37 AM

Both are nice pics, but I liked A better because of the composition.

bran · 16 December 2007, 12:55 PM

Both are great, but A got my vote.

Robb · 16 December 2007, 01:03 PM

I will be the different one.... I like B!!!!

orisky · 16 December 2007, 05:54 PM

Hmmm...very interesting set of replies. I started this thread going the other way (selecting B) as I prefer the the blue ocean in the background. I wish I had shot this with more depth so the sand is in focus. Oh well...guess I have another excuse to head back to Maui.

Photo A is more striking and has better contrast..

Photo B is a better shot of the watch, but like Mike says... to really make it pop, crop off the top half or 2/3.....( yes, only sand, no ocean)

SPACE-DWELLER · 18 December 2007, 12:25 AM

Lend me the Zenith Daytona for a year, and I will make more pics for you to choose from!

frostie · 18 December 2007, 04:20 AM

it seems that A is the winner

lobzdik · 26 November 2008, 11:35 PM

it looks a lil dirty on A, so i picked B
btw man, doesnt that scratch you case/

sea-dweller · 27 November 2008, 12:32 PM

I cannot decide, both photos are beautiful ! If I HAD to make a choice, I would flip a coin !

iamandis · 8 December 2008, 07:17 PM

I would vote for A, the contrast in the pic makes the watch very outstanding.

Latrodectus · 9 December 2008, 06:49 AM

That would be "A" for me

Dr.B · 15 December 2008, 02:01 PM

I like the composition of A better. However, maybe it would have worked to angle the watch toward the camera slightly to get rid of the reflection on the bracelet/face, and bring out the details of the face better. Hell what do I know, I'm a doctor....
