Amazing shots with no glare.

I'm trying to convince myself that I don't like it, don't want it and hate it. I know, I know IMPOSSIBLE. Great picture, beautiful watch.

Did you get that watch from my good friend Granitequarry? David is a great guy. He and I have had some dealings before, and he is a really stand-up good guy
