    At first glance, I saw that as a wrist shot and thought to myself that's taking the inking/tattoo a bit far

    I think someone made a similar comment about skin diseases...

    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    I will admit to having tried that one once or twice, many years ago - not my best effort.



    This one was slightly better:



    Another from the Winter of January 2013:

    I don't have a matching 'photo, and if I did, I wouldn't post it for taste and decency reasons, but surely The Human Wrist That Is So Hirsute It Needs To Be Shaved to show off its owner's Rolex (it's always a Rolex, usually a DSSD...) deserves a Special Mention here? I mean - dial it back testosterone boy - or at least use the 'blur' function in Photoshop...

    First time I've read it, a very enjoyable read so far.

    Anything ‘edc’ which is always a bit Walter Mitty imho. And whilst I find Adrian Barker on his Bark and Jack you tube channel mildly irritating, his wielding of a coffee cup in a faux casual ‘hey it’s just us friends chatting watches’ makes my teeth itch!
    I do remember when the Orange Monster was a £99 WIS thing, lots of photos atop citrus fruit - which actually worked rather well!

    Anyone remember peedog? His rather candid watch photography was eyebrow raising to say the least.

    When not living the cliches outlined above I tend to find a nice abstract picture on my iPad and use it as a background.

    Unfortunately I missed Peedogs previous work but have checked the minimal back catalogue and I prefer his backgrounds to the ones on this thread!

    Going by your watch collection, I’m guessing there are more arms where they came from.

    Are you going on a late night date in east London? If so you’re fully prepared.
