In pictures there always seems to be more arm hair and the watches look bigger. I'm also trying to figure out this picture thing from my phone so sorry guys.

masterserg · 13 January 2012, 02:48 AM

Looks great to me!

MonBK · 13 January 2012, 02:52 AM

You're right, it looks big and lots of hair.

JustABreathAway · 13 January 2012, 02:52 AM

Yes, the fashion here on TRF is to take very close-up shots of the watches, making them look substantially larger than the do in real life in the context of your arm. This also highlights arm hair, unless you really are a wolfman-beast, and then I feel sorry for you.

m5blitzer · 13 January 2012, 03:29 AM

A nice looking watch but I was distracted by all the hair.

A wax job in the plans?

Lion · 13 January 2012, 03:35 AM

Nice watch and I know you must enjoy wearing it!!!

JohnEaton · 13 January 2012, 03:55 AM

You call that air hair?

looks like low-T to me

And they're not close ups, they are the special 60MM editions

m5blitzer · 13 January 2012, 03:57 AM

This thread is starting to be very hairy.

ok, John Eaton, you WIN on both counts - hair and collection.

improviz · 13 January 2012, 03:57 AM

jrd21 · 13 January 2012, 03:58 AM

Several years ago it always seemed to be a tie between me and JJ... I think the additional wool would sometimes give him the edge

Sure miss that guy!!!!

I think that this would be a violation of the Geneva Convention in your case!

Brings back painful memories of that scene from The 40 Year-Old Virgin, ouch!

Not looking forward to that either

My trainer says ALL hair must go by mid-April

Lion · 13 January 2012, 04:28 AM

John, what a great collection of time pieces!!!

Miss JJ's input here.

Fredrik · 13 January 2012, 07:27 AM

And if your arm isn't hairy enough, just play around a bit with contrast, saturation, sharpness...

My chest

One might say I'm hairier than three monkeys... I know JJ or Jocke would have written something like that (or about sheep's wool)

Another 'hair' shot for your viewing pleasure (since John in Australia started things before dP could)

John - I think you are big-foot and shaved your head and face so no one would know.

You only qualify if you also have HAIR ON YOUR HEAD.

BOA · 13 January 2012, 05:17 PM

At least the Rolex bracelets don't pull the hair like a few other high-end watches I finally sold because I got tired of saying "YOWTCH" twenty times a day. My arms have a lot of hair, but I've never had a problem with any of my Rolexes.

Andelain · 13 January 2012, 07:33 PM

There's something to be said for being a girl, I don't have visible arm hair!

OTOH sometimes I wouldn't mind some to help hide the scars on my arm. Oh well, guess I just keep cropping my pics.
