great collection! Trying shooting during the day near a window but with no flash on. I find that natural light works best with my camera which is not a very good one though lol

I'll have to keep that in mind.

Most of my shots turn out real bad, but I am trying to get a bit better.

Thanks for the advise.

Thank you. Yes being done for me won't be easy. I was actually talking about the next one when getting this last one.

I have said this twice already, however I amdone for this year at least.

But for the next one, I actually was thinking a Tudor or chrono or a Black face Daytona. A Sub LV or GMT Pepsi might be nice. In reality however since I have done something different for each one so far I may even go in a different direction. The hunt and the chase are better than the actual purchase if you know what I mean.

Thanks, I kind of figured I would be on the hook to bring them next time. I also may want to talk to you a bit more about Tudors as well.
