Not too much to say about the watch itself, except that it's an absolutely hypnotic trip just owning it.

If you like the 1st pic, I made a slightly higher-res version and put it here.

So, who's next?


Oh, BTW, if you are a fan of Moon Zen Goodness and also have an iPad, try an app called "Deluxe Moon HD" for some comprehensive moon stuff wrapped in truly awesome eye candy. (No relation...)

My word- a perfect watch. Absolutely stunning.

iPhone camera comparison

First picture is from my iPhone 4 camera. Second is from my iPhone 5 camera. Seems to be a little improvement, but not much.

Seems like a huge improvement. The second one looks more detailed...

You're right. It's better. I guess I was hoping for more. I'll play with it some more.

Make sure to use your finger to focus both phones on the same spot.

The upper part of the bezel on the second pic has resolution I have never seen on any of my iPhones before. The metal grain is very detailed! Also the Patek lettering shows a tremendous clarity in the second photo compared to the first. If you focused on the same spot using a finger tap, these differences are making me want to buy one right now even though my reduced cost update isn't until November...

The lighting and focus in both pics look like they are different though; using your finger to tap the focus spot and taking the photo in the same exact position will allow a better comparison.
