I don't have a good moon picture ...
Sep 12, 2013,11:02 AM
But I want to pay homage to the Oriental craftsmanship with those few pictures:
1) Seiko "Sumo"
2) Seiko Marinemaster 300m
3) The pair
4) A mandatory B&W
Those two wonders maintain zero time deviation for weeks (believe it or not!).
A wonderful weekend to all,
Nilo

A beautiful Moon for the Mid-Autumn Festival
By: Spellbound : September 12th, 2013-16:19

By: Spellbound : September 14th, 2013-19:41
I was wondering when this one would make an appearance. Great choice of strap to go with such a beauty. Assume the mooncake box is empty and you are 1kg heavier this week ! Great shot my friend, and happy Mid-Autumn Festival ! Dean
