I love your Monaco Tag Euan, such a great looking watch. Also have to echo what Derrick said about your Seamaster, simplicity at its best, just a shame I couldn't quite afford the Planet Oceans!

They've gone up so much in the last 4 years it's rediculous. I got my Monaco on a very good deal and before the price went balistic, same with the Seamaster. The Seiko is second hand, and my Hamilton I picked up for much less than half price when my local jeweller was getting rid if the stock - timing is everything!Quote:

Or if it's the look you like, some of the Seikos look similar for not massive money - have a google for Seiko SKX007 or the SKX009 - they're both on my hit list. Or the Monster that I have can be had with an Orange face (most of them are actually Orange, I wanted the black one). They also do a version of it called a night monster, goes for a load more money but it's all black - black face and bezel, and the strap is usually metal too. I like it a lot!!
Well well wellQuote:

Now, how did you do that? Great shot! I can never get any kind of decent shot of a watch!
Did you use a tripod? What's the camera?
Thanks! My camera is an Olympus E-420 with the 14-42mm Zuiko lens - it was mounted on a tripod and set on macro mode, no flash, 2s delayed shutter to avoid camera shake. The watch is sitting on a mirrored wall tile with a Mini Clubman accessories brochure stood up behind it :smilewinkgrin:. I used natural light coming in from a window to the right - I've found that using direct light from a flash or spotlight is not helpful so I like using natural light and a slow shutter speed if necssary. I've tried using a small light "tent" but haven't been too successful with it so far - need to try some more with it as many people swear by them.Quote:
