    The devil made me do it

    *If you fancy writing a guest post and have some decent hi-res images to go with it, drop me a PM*

    I'm not sure whether it's because I have too much time on my hands, but late last night I decided to start a watch/photo blog. I've only posted about my present collection so far, and there's a lot more to go on it but I think it's pretty cool.

    Feel free to critique or leave a comment on the blog itself. The URL's in my signature below.

    Re: The devil made me do it

    Just had a look, nice pics. :)

    Just a small amendment needed, you said......

    "This beautiful watch houses the automatic 6146-8000 25-jewelled movement"

    The movement is a 6146, the 8000 bit is the watch model number.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Nice blog and great info, i agree with you about the Omega 2503.33.00, white dial and blue hands is a stunner.

    Very impressed with that. Great pics and a nice personal take on what you love. Just what a blog is really for IMO.

    Hope you keep it up. Speaking personally, there is nothing worse than a watch blog that is left to stagnate.

    Well done i like it and the pics are really good as well ,might be something a few members will have a try at now and the pics of other members watches will entice us to want more pieces.

    Re: The devil made me do it

    Very well put together with some great pictures. The grand Seiko looks fantastic and has got me doing an internet search to get more info on it.

    I would add that although there is a fair bit of info on the Seikos the others are just pics, more info required.

    Show everyone you know what you are talking about. :D
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    I was actually going to make it a photo (only) blog, Neil, then I thought a word or two of introduction might be better. I think my enthusiasm for the Seiko's (which is strange, because I've never been a Seiko fan as such) shone through and it did make me decide to go back and add to the text as and when I get a chance.

    Just a quick thank you to Gary for the use of his stunning photos of the Combat SUB he sold me (errr, he sold me the watch, not the photos). And a little plug, of course :)

    Well, this has been going for a month now - I'm quite enjoying it, actually, but still no comments and no offers of guest posts.

    Are you lot shy, then?

    Thanks - I've got an EOS 500D, but tbh the lenses are more important than the camera, and I really, really want a decent macro :(

    I wasn't actually bumping this gratuitously, more making the point above (which immediately then got relegated to "previous page" status). So... anyone?
