Reply With QuoteA cuff needs to be partially covering the dial.
Seems that watch photos are now falling into a very certain style.
Background should now include:
- maps
- knifes
- camera gear
- compass
- logo/keys of a high end German sports car
- sunglasses (bonus point for RayBan aviators)
- Fountain pen
What have I missed???
A cuff needs to be partially covering the dial.
Coffee, notebook, swimming pool, beach.
The toilet was popular for a while here as were a members wife’s boobs.
Both more entertaining than a steering wheel
Tits.
My fairly basic watch photography efforts mostly fall into the map cliche, but the maps I use are personal to me, because they are a dust sheet made of cloth maps of the Sudan, maps which my grandfather effectively drew as one of the main surveyors that mapped the country.
One can also add cliche themes (water for a diver, space for a Speedie), and also well worn wabi items, whether they be boots, rucksack or travel case.
We should start a thread for "watch + random object" photos where all of those, as well as the other items mentioned in posts above, are banned. Might make for some more original images.Originally Posted by Montello

I remember a photo composition of a watch, leaf and a fox turd from some years back?

A Ferrari or a Porsche in view or a steering wheel is very ‘The Rolex Forum’, look at me I have the biggest Willy and the most money on the forum.
It's very much en vogue these days to have a background of some technical drawings or equations.
Great story, also a very nice Eterna.My fairly basic watch photography efforts mostly fall into the map cliche, but the maps I use are personal to me, because they are a dust sheet made of cloth maps of the Sudan, maps which my grandfather effectively drew as one of the main surveyors that mapped the country.
I agree they are a bit of a cliché, but isn't that because they do look rather good? Some things just work well together in the frame.
Nahhhh, load of rubbish mate.
Hand holding top of fancy coffee with milk art or whatever it's called with watch on display.
Hand doing up fancy boots or sneakers with watch on display.
Tumbler of whiskey / Cigar
Watch on LV/Goyard wallet
That awful hackneyed hand partially in the pocket (selvedge of course!) flashing the watch is beyond the pale IMO.
Cheers,
Neil.
All over processed or colour saturated >>>>>>
Sorry I meant ??????

There is of course also the classic "standing wrist shot displaying wrist, watch, crotch bulge and sneakers"
Or the TZ classic watches and handlebars.
and the look I have a wad of money :)
Am I doing this right ?

Nope.
That penny is worth more than all of these notes combinedNope.
Watch and a nice bottle of wine:
That may well be, but the Casio ain't worth what that Sinn is.That penny is worth more than all of these notes combined
Slate was a popular background some time back, now it's more concrete blocks or plywood
Celebrity...
Nah, just amateurs them.
You need a desk.

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
The original 1960s advert of re-issues
A chilled glass of continental lager
A dog is a popular option, especially with a ‘Will you stop pissing about with that watch and throw the bloody ball’ look on their little faces.
The only time my Eco-Drive runs slow is when Marleys wearing it :)

This can be the new theme. An upgrade from the nappy shot last week.

It always used to make me cringe when the watch was sat on something abrasive like a rock, or on the sand.
Likewise, any photo that includes feet or (even worse) toes. Yuck!
Similarly guilty …

Not forgetting a wrist shot with a whole load of wrist bands and beads etc around the watch.
Very bohemian, in a cool dude sort of way. Might look good on a young hipster, but an aging balding fat bloke, less so.
ummmm
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
Dogs wearing watches:
Sadly both Barney and the BPFF are no longer with me.
I think I’ve nailed it just in time for the Friday thread.
Nearly. Massive Dong would be far more impressive.
Pizza oven + watch?
Well, it seems to me that w*****s who drive Porsches all seem to be determined to take photographs of their watches (on their wrists) directly in front of the brand logo that is mounted at the centre of the steering wheel.
What about the nice guys that drive Porsches and take photographs of their watches (on their wrists) directly in front of the brand logo that is mounted at the centre of the steering wheel? There must be some?

A few...
What are these?? It looks like a pepper mill combined with the game where you put swords in a barrel, no idea
A leather wallet, coffee, maps…
To be fair, I do quite like an organised strap changing tool with some strap options laid out well
I think you are on the wrong forum 🤣
We don’t have the everyday carry pictures including fire arms in the UK.
Nothing says I am ready for the day like a picture of a Rolex Submariner a tactical pen carbon fibre money clip and a Glock 19

I recall a period where a bottle of scotch whisky was often involved in the background.
Typically something highly peated.
