You have been posting WS or Static for a long time or a few times. Either way, why don't we show off the best of the best in your HDD? Let's start the "BEST WATCH PHOTO" weekly scan! Looking forward to your best of the best! Have a great Friday and Weeken...

This is one of my favorites photos, hope you like it. Also, this is my first post since I lost my previous ID. ;) It's nice to say Hi! again. -Leon ...  

¿Could anyone show me how to change my ID to prevent my mail adress to apper insted of my ID? Here I was knew as LeonDNumidia, but I can change it back. -Thanks!!

.. see your current ID? Look right next to it, you see "My Account"? Click it. Then the screen goes to the new page, and look at the right hand side and find "My Profile", there you can change your ID...... and save.... If not, ask again. Welcome back! Ke... 

Thank you for the instructions and the welcoming Ken. As soon as get to a non portatil device I'll give it a try. Hope I don't bother with that anymore. ;) -Leon

¡Thanks Nicolas! It's nice to be welcomed here and also, to be able to chat again with you. From your pics I'm biased between the Freak, the Royal Oak and the PP. You are a talented photographer. -Leon

Don't Under estimate the power of the Duometre UTT... A Watch I learned to appreciate, and to love a lot. Un abrazo, Amigo. Nicolas

You might be right. I have to try it myself since, with the exception of the chronograph, I haven't been able to handle the other Duometres yet. Abrazos también, mi amigo. -Leon

Cheers Francois

Ha ha ha Thanks, but it isn't. Just a picture I took for myself (and now all of you) several months ago!! Thanks again. -Leon

is a great loss to our community! Now everyone is out seeking an Overseas Chrono!

I'm glad you like it too. Thank you very much. Hurry up! There should be a few Overseas ou there yet. Before other members get them!! Ha Ha Although, by that logic, I should be trakking several models from other photos in this thread. Cheers. -Leon

And it was even better to have seen you last week. Enjoy your 4101, and please, do not hesitate in sharing photos of it as well! Cheers, Alex

How about Mahjong..? HAGWE Blomman ...  

Did you add the BLUE? Hmmmm! Best, my friend. Nicolas

The blue waits for no man...! ;) Best, my friend Blue-man

I like very much the duplicity of colours in the second photo. Great picture!

The perfect watch for Mahjong! ;) Thank you. Best Blomman

You got the blue also?. Great catch,great photos,great composition... Huge compliments Mo

Something for you, my friend?! :) Best Blomman

... oriental? Hahaha. Nice! Ken

Surprised?! ;) Best Blomman

... hahaha. Ken

Cheers Francois

in the horizon ;) Superb Bloman ! Superb !

I would love to add one, but... ... ... Only time will tell... Best Blomman

... have a great weekend, my friend :-) stefan

Thank you, my friend! :) Best Blomman

LOL! Just kidding, of course.... Super cool pair, Blomman!!! Cheers, Alex

Then I could match Sweden, Blue-Yellow! :) Thank you, Alex. Best, my friend Blomman

I really appreciate quality game sets....I've been looking for the best backgammon set for a long time but still haven't found what I want yet.! Yours, Andy.

. . . hasn't been altered one iota - it's just as it came off the Canon. The harmony between the red flower and leap year indicator makes this my personal favorite. ...  

.. and nice touch with the flower! Ken

. . . and by far and away the best out of dozens taken just before and afterwards. The sunlight must've been perfect at that very moment. Art

Especially yours, Art. ;) Congratulations for such a magnificent piece! Marcelo

. . . so while they weren't limited editions, strictly speaking, they are relatively few in number, almost certainly in the three-figure range. I consider myself fortunate to have three in my possession. They are keepers, all. Best, Art

...no matter how much you love your GOs, you would not change a single of the 20+ Stones' gigs you've been at for one of them, except for a specific night. ;)

. . . make that 37, and hoping for more! :-)

;) Best Marcelo

... it is time to wear mine soon! stefan

. . . and to withdraw the rose gold version that hasn't been on my wrist in just over a year.

. . . for Static Photo . . . . . . which also hasn't been altered one bit - neither cropped nor Photoshopped, just pure Nikon point-and-shoot. ...  

Lovely photo! :) Best Blomman

Best, Nicolas ...  

As everyone knows Vlad's aversion to garlic and other Roman torture devices. But, in any case, is the best of the set (watch and picture) IMHO. Cheers, Nilo

Just finished a large plate of Italian pasta, with homemade spicy sauce and a glass of Argentine red wine. What more I can want? I'm done for today. Cheers, Nilo

Breathtaking especially the first two. The freak is to die for, the ro shot is so well composed, one of the most beautiful pics of the jumbo I very seen. Mo

In each case, a trip in the US, gathering with great friends, and, in the TR case, our PPRO 10th birthday! Best, Mo. Nicolas.

My favourite so far. Cheers Francois

Play nice , Vlad ! That's not giving the rest of us bastardos any chance ... Sinking your teeth real hard this week ! Am surprised half the shots were taken the in the DAY ! LOL HAGWE , my dear friend !

. . . real. That's the highest compliment I can pay.

All of them are fantastic!! Funny, but looking at each one of your photos, I am reminded of the posts you made when highlighting them. From your express trip to the US, to taking on the high seas with Bill, I can most definitely tell you that your images ... 

MMR, 70ieme or GMT???? I'm very disappointed my friend :) Best D

You have too many great shots, my friend! :) Best Blomman

Funny thing about this theme. I went to all pictures that I have but it seems that I prefer my most recent ones with one exception. First a static shot. Just a white gold Omega Constellation (not mine, please). I was trying to capture the case back and I ...  

.. but can't resist Seiko.... Nice! Ken

Ken, Who can resist a Seiko MM 300? BTW: it will be on my wrist tomorrow. Cheers, Nilo

Very nice one..... I am searching for a decent A386, by the way :-) Ken

Your aversion to precious metal pieces has no bearing on your photography ! That is a superb dance of photography ! Mysterious as well ! Great shot , Nilo! Superb !

Don't ask me why I strongly associate precious metal with gangsters, drug lords and other type of criminals. It must be some movie that I saw when I was a kid. I have a dear friend that goes ballistic when a gold/platinum watch is offered to him, I run aw... 

. . . a white gold C-case Connie with brick bracelet is ever so nice . . .

To Break Bad and open your illegal substances business (IMHO): Another one: And yours truly wearing the white gold bricks: Believe me. I was very nervous when I took those shots, one year back. Here, you never know. Cheers, Nilo ...  

. . . when I won the 8-ball tournament at Maggie's. :-) Here's an image of a modern Omega calendar . . . . . . an annual calendar, to be precise, also in white gold. Not mine, unfortunately, and neither is the wrist, but the photo is . . . ...  

Since I swap watches like a lunatic and I deep dislike watch winders, annual/perpetual calendar watches are not for me. I'm trying with my single moon phase watch, to maintain it "powered". It's manual wind and is more easy to monitor the power reserve. C... 

Sometimes pictures comes better than the original intention, that was to crop and show only the observatory on the back. Cheers, Nilo

...  

... but it will be up to the judges :-) Ken

I like this one... Maybe because I like the watch................ Tks!! ...  

... what a nice stage property behind it :-) Ken

A friend's one off piece from Peter Speake-Marin ... Or this one, light was just right... Cheers, Tim ...  

... I always love the special dial.... Thanks, Tim! Ken

This model with a WG case and RG engraved dial was one of my fav versions of the original Piccadilly. Peter got his inspiration from old English pocketwatches from the late 1800's The addition of the ruby on the dial was an accomodation, as was the Ruby i... 

Peter would be pleased ! Captures the spirit of PSM superbly !

Sometimes the light is just right...I tend to use only natural light here, so it can be a bit hit and miss at times. Cheers, Tim

I'd have to take my shirt off to you.

But I prefer the first shot! Fantastic dial. :) Best Blomman

I'd hate to be a judge this week ! For me, one I took just this week. Surprisingly it took just a minute to set up, but I'm happy with the way it turned out with the chips and dice. Reminds me of some scene in a movie when the guy runs out of money and th...  

Very nice Zenith! Love the color, too. Best, Ken

...  

But u captured the colour of the dial well, very well ! All gems in your collection !

Great watch, Iceman.

I like it! :) Best Blomman

A relatively recent acquisition .... Becoming a fast favourite ! ND , which would please some quarters ... LOL Such is the charm of a Rollie ! Classic reborn ! ...  

Nicely done! Ken

But u did much much better , Ken ! Classy shot befitting of a Lange ! And u are making it hard for me to resist getting one myself !! HAGWE , my dear Friend ! Have a superb one !

I am looking forward to the next encounter, with more time next time! Ken

I too like a lot the tonality of this photo!! And the fabric detail is quie interesting. -Leon

...  

.. nice background small properties :-) Nice composition. Judges will be a super tough time.... Sorry! Ken

We should think about launching such a threas, as we did in th past. Watches and pens work so well together! Best, Grasso. Nicolas

Ken but I like it and it's also a Lange! :) [URL=] [/URL] Cheers and have a great week- end. Fernando ...  

WOW! Marcelo ...  

It can be elegant for sure. :)

Especially in B&W ! Bravo ! HAGWE !

Fastastic pic, Fernando! Have a great weekend, Alex

This has to be one of the best wrist shots EVER ! Smooth, Suave and Sophisticated ! Well done Dean

Photo and watch! :) Best Blomman

;) Here's my entry: ...  

... BLUE HANDS! Nice! Ken

;) Thank you, Ken. :-)

But my favourite from you involves a Rainbow! ;) Best Blomman

;) And I feel flattered by your comment, since I haven't posted it for a while now. :-) Best! Marcelo ...  

;)

...  

The sharpness of the gilloche is outstanding. Cheers -Leon

...I am afraid I will never get my wrist on! I love that dial's color!

Nope....apparently....please ignore this. ...  

otherwise you can see both the watch and Maiale move :) Pretty cool.... Best Sam

HAGWE! CaliforniaJed ...  

Beautiful ivory dial ! HAGWE too !

Crystal clear! Pure dial! :) Best Blomman

HAGWE ...  

.. not bad at all! Ken

But I like this one for the picture and for what it represents!... Matt ...  

.. you have so many high quality photos! And this may be one of the best - up to the judges :-) Thank you! Ken

Five great watches! Best Blomman

I forgot the number of times that I had this watch and ... flipped (Omegas are so easy to flip here). What is on the background? Sand? Cheers, Nilo

... as these awesome pictures keep coming, they confirm my initial suspicion: this will be a most difficult W/S to judge!! Keep them coming friends and have a great week end! Abel.

... who I will announce over the weekend... :-) Ken

Hello Ken, as there are some very skilled photographers on this forum, I slightly hesitate to post my best picture. But, what the heck, here it is: Red Sub with flower in the background. Kind regards and thanks for the interesting theme for this week! ana...  

... YOUR best watch photo ever... so, any shot is qualified and yours is certainly a great one. Thank you! Ken

a new classic watch on an old classic de-magnetizer. HAGWE! ...  

And an uber cool de-magnetizer. Someday I go to have a Nomos. Cheers, Nilo

.. nice contrast of the old and new, color, etc... Nice. Ken

. . . evocative, j . . .

I've always liked these first photos because, at least to me, while the photos aren't the sharpest or tightest, the settings seemed to bring out something in the watches -- the CvdK capturing a December pre-Christmas dusk and the Piccadilly on a shirt fro...  

.. always impressed with the engraved center! Ken

. . . an album title from many years back, with a twist . . . . . . The Blue and the Abstract Truth . . .

Given my incredibly busy life (busy career, family with four kids.....) any time spent with watches are indeed Stolen Moments. (Though, truth to be told, I like Ahmad Jamal's version best.)

. . . many years ago, at Catalina's in Hollywood (the original location on Cahuenga, not the current one on Hollywood Boulevard). Art

the decoration of the dial shows up well.

The TIME PORTAL I took this photo 8 years ago, using two huge water-jet-cut slabs of titanium, a wall plaque, and a Sinn chrono. I still like it. Cazalea ...  

...very nicely done. Would love to be able to take shots like that! Ken

. . . the perspective, Mike: the Sinn is placed between a section of pipe and the Norse plaque, right?

You called Art. Shooting through the 2" slab of titanium, watch sitting on another base of sandblasted titanium, plaque in back, light from the middle. Sadly it wasn\'t a titanium watch, but it was the Tegimented case. I don\'t remember the camera and I d... 

...  

... beautiful B&W pic! Very becoming 1665! Ken

... i just post the one i am wearing the following watch yesterday and Friday today :-) stefan (JLC 24001 chronometer) (double wristshot: i was wearing both vintages, JLC 24001 chronometer and futurematic to attend JLC event yesterday evening.) ...  

.. particularly the dial looks very sharp and I like it. Ken

... i like this pic very much. i find i can take a sharp pic under the bright environment. in fact, it was taught by Andrew D :-) stefan

... can't agree more, it is indeed a blast! stefan

Beautiful dials that I know. Congratulations for the picture. Those fancy dials are really hard to capture and you captured masterfully. Cheers, Nilo

... not at all, Nilo :-) i am still learning how to shot a better quality when the light is low! hope i can do it better and better! thanks for your kind words, Nilo stefan

. . . that era spawned creativity in many fields, watch design included . . .

... this is just an example of many late 60s and early 70s funky watches out there. thanks, Art! stefan

Love the blue dial on this one! Best, my friend Blomman

... in fact recently i saw one white dial with the same case reference showing up in one other forum, but it is not for sale! stefan

And the fact that is a watch that I really appreciate, makes them even more special. Great weekend to all, Alex ...  

.. well done! Ken

Cheers! Alex

. . . or under shade, judging by the light . . .

If memory serves me well, I took these on a late spring afternoon. Lighting was subtle and I could not have been happier with the results! There was some shade provided by a few trees in the garden. Hope all is well, Art, Alex

.....and not sure if these are my best....but they are amongst my favourites...and thats what really counts, right? ...  

You sure know how to make me nervous... ;) Best, Nicolas

.....dial bites Vlad

I have a soft spot for the shallow DOF! Ken

Feelings for these two! Oh, sorry Dexter - forgot, you don't have feelings... ;) Best, my friend Blomman

Still striving to get better, wanting to live up to the awesome photographers we have on the forum. ...  

Well, the Big Onion is not bad, either! Thaks for these marvellous photos, my friend. Nico

really are beautiful and dangerous!

You have great skills, too! Ken

. . . my call. ...  

The reason I didn't include that one is that I don't feel I've really captured it yet in a photo. I'll have to have another go at it. Thanks for the kind words.

All of them! ;) Great choices, my friend! Best Blomman

Maybe one of my best memories - ever! Obviously one of my first attempt at taking a scan in 1999. Mom had this watch and "button" set made for Dad. Watch engraved: Mike - Christmas 1955 - Claire. Dad won the 3+ caret diamond in a crap game. All but the "b...  

.. a very nice one, I think. Thank you for contribution, Miki! Ken

I'm actually new here, my first post in fact, but I saw all the great images and I really wanted to chip in! Nothing fancy though.. Seiko 5 ...  

...  

Winners for sure Amazing shots! Best D

Of a King. Congratulations, Nilo

Love them all! :) Best Blomman

This one turned out ok, but more importantly it reminds me how excited I was to receive my first Vacheron Constantin and how innocent I still was to think that this would be my only VC. LOL. And this one. Maybe not the best photo I have of the EWC, but he...  

As for the EWC, nice memories, too! Best, Nicolas

The Americana.... My mind still haven't let go of this one... One day I must go into VC! Best, my friend Blomman

Fx ...  

I kinda thought you would pick this one. I don't know why, but this image came to my mind if and when it comes from you because I like this one, too! Thanks, Fx! Ken

. . . "Eye-candy". :-)

Lacking the time to go through all of the archives, and having been too lazy to create any sort of coherent filing system, I think I'll start with this one -- the first photo for which I ever received praise from my teacher, Ming Thein: As with every phot...

Dislike the V. H. as a style, but your picture is the definition of perfection. Cheers, Nilo

Nice ones you have there. Be careful, NOT to delete any of them, watch-guy! Thank you! Ken

. . . I don't know what it is. And yes, I meant sensual, not sensuous. Art

. . . . . . . . . HAGWE Best Patrice ...  

... who I will announce tonight. I feel so sorry for them. Sorry that I have asked you three.... :-) Damn, you have so many goodies! Ken

you just ruined my mood for whole day :) What a résumé!!! Amazing pieces and shots and cufflinks are not bad either Do you have all numbers from 1 to 9? ;) BEst Damjan

. . . than yours, Patrice. Admiringly, Art

Stunning display, my friend! :) Best Blomman

...for the excess, Ken. However, each of these has particular personal 'resonance' and it would be unfair to divide them. This watch just wants to be photographed: If there's a favourite wrist shot of the same watch it's this one: This was a bit of fun ...  

One of my fav photo of this Watch, and YOU are the one who took it. As for the Beba, this is a damn Watch for me. 3 times I had the opportunity to buy one, three times it escaped from my teeth... Best, Nicolas ...  

...as it was for your 'Polaristi' roll-call. :-) As for the Be-Ba? Once is understandable, Nico, but three times???? You deserve your penance! Cheers, pplater.

My all time favourite of the Polaris! But tell me, is it the TTP65 or TTP68? TTP68 - yes?! :) Best Blomman

And a very special time-piece Good weekend to all. Cheers Francois from Down Under ...  

And a watch we do not often see here! Best Blomman

Not the best ever but one I really like... And a very special time-piece Wishing all a good weekend. Cheers Francois from Down Under ...  

... and it IS gorgeous! Ken

Yes, this time-piece is Charming and Mysterious, a watch with a "history" and a special one at that! Lucky? Me? Very much indeed:):) Thank you my friend. Cheers Francois

"My Posts" hence my doubts:):) Cheers The un-charming Francois :):):):)

It's a very difficult choice to make, thus I chose: The wristshot: The close-up: The movement: The static: Another static (sorry I couldn't choose): Have a nice week-end everyone :) Mark ...  

... for the judges this week...... :-) Thank you! Ken

Love it! :) Best Blomman

WS thread ever dear Ken allow me to jump a train Regards D ...  

Where is the watch? Ah! There! Absolutely cute one! Ken

It would be better if I could put one in each :) Sincerely my dear friend Yours D

.. love it for easiness to wear and take off! Take care, my friend! Ken

You should do a calendar out of this photo, my friend! :) Best Blomman

manage to put one in each drawer I will if not I'll call you for help my friend Best Damjan

of two of my favorite pieces... Yours, Andy. ...  

. . . that first comes to mind, Andy - simply breathtaking. ...  

that was just after I got her with the champagne from my dealer :) Cheers, Andy.

I have to agree with Art on this one...! ;) Best Blomman

This winner (Do you remember this one?): Cheers, Nilo ...  

so I couldn't post it again.... but it only won due to your hints my friend :) Yours, Andy.

.. but, yeah, these qualify for the entry, too. Great macro shots! Ken

I'm glad I'm not a judge this week....I don't envy the task this week :) Yours my friend, Andy.

my best of the best had to be connected to my favorite. ...  

... yes, your favorite watch is qualified for the entry, too! Ken

...  

...  

Inescapable, unmissable, incomparable. I concluded you are correct! Thanks for the education as always. Andrew

Don't understand incontournable? :) :) :) All the best, my french speaking friend. Nicolas

the background is faded away which has this effect that when one looks at the picture, (while he still can make out the background and where it is taken), he cant help but gets drawn in to the focused object. And there is where you want his attention. I h...  

A mystery to unravel. And the watch is an accompaniment. That's what I like about your picture too. It makes you want to know more. Thanks for the comments. Andrew

Every time I see your as Sub I got an urge similar to the ones that I had when I was a cigarette addict. Perfect size, not that rare but ... Attractive. I must resist or move to a more peaceful country. Cheers Andrew, Nilo

home and the bee would not leave, was in the window and even with the window open, insisted on staying. So I decided to get the camera, the box, and the watch and wait. A few minutes later the bee duly obliged! Are we not all bees drawn to the honey? :) ...  

dear Andrew What a nice shot! As former apiarist I declare this my photo of the week Best regards Damjan P.S. Love your closing remark ;)

I think this picture captures the Blue VC well. ...

... heart warming photo. Thank you for sharing with us! Ken

I like this one as coincidentally I am also on it ... more in the watch ... fusion with a watch by the hot lava that the watch can tame. Best Moritz ...
