    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!

    You can still pick up a Planet Ocean for OK money second hand if that's an option for you - just need to buy from somewhere respectable. I really like them, my mate has one (with a black bezel on a leather strap) and it's stunning.

    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!!

    I've been playing about with the camera trying to get a decent photo of my Tag - this is one of my better efforts and I hope you like it .

    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 . 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.

    It is incredibly clear, nice shot. I’d love to drive up the West Coast and take my time taking pictures with a tripod and quality DSLR. I always rush my pictures with a compact.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
