First stab at showing my collection - take a look!

[GIB984]

Hi Guys,

Just had a quick go at taking some shots with my phone to see how they came out - have a look below.

My first real watch - the Rolex - 22 years old and still going strong...

</a>

Then my second Omega - a recent purchase - the Omega Planet Ocean

</a>

A couple of less 'coveted' brands but I just like them:

The Victorinox military chronograph on a Di Modell strap

</a>

followed by the Oakley Blade - very heavy and a lovely close fitting bracelet

</a>

and then finally - my latest and current favourite! The Bell & Ross BR01-94 titanium chronograph

</a>

</a>

And all together....

</a>

What do you think?

Lovely collection mate wouldnt mind a pic of that rolex full on, it looks Class, I like that Oakley Blade very Sharp! always liked the BR0 Bell and Ross,the Omega orange always gets a look,never seen The Victorinox military chronograph before but it looks a Quality watch...Very nice

Nice! Especially the PO & B&R. Although that Oakley looks strangely out of place ..

:shock: Oakley? :twisted: :wink:

Stunning collection.

:shock: Oakley? :twisted: :wink:

I know, I know :D

Dont beat me up too much about it - I just liked the buzz -saw blade effect and thought it would look "cool" (is that what the kids still say?) if I wore it when skiing!

Be kind to it .....it doesn't get a great deal of wrist time!

Rolex is stunning. What model is it?

Thanks mate, I will try and sort a proper one out the weekend - I did post a couple earlier in my other post...... "My watch of the day" - or something like that :)

Thanks Rav, its an Oyster perpetual date just - my first "real watch" bought 22 years ago for £1600, serviced only once and never missed a beat...

Top Drawer collection mate... :wink:

photo's not bad either...

They must have made them well in that era.Here's mine from '84. Worn for 20yrs 24/7 before I got the bug, including work as a Firefighter. Serviced twice in that time and still running spot on.

I will probably sell the Oakley and Victorinox now and then (in a while) get the other watch I have coveted from afar - the Breitling Navitimer 701

Impressive for something shot with a phone. Did you put something over the lens to get macro focusing?

I like that first shot, nice angle and reflections.

Hi Ming, the phone is a Sony Ericsson K810i with 3.2 mega pixels but it also has a macro setting as one of the options!

I only ever take photos on holiday, weddings, etc (normally just on hols!) but have just got a Sony DSC R1 camera so I would like to improve a little. Your shots are absolutely superb and were the inspiration for having a go with the schoolboy efforts above :D

Love the Planet Ocean. A 42mm or a 45mm?

Hi Ari, its the 45mm and I have it on today - quick pic below. It is on the rubberised strap with the orange stitching that I think sets the orange bezel off a treat. I also have the bracelet and the orange leather strap but this is my current favourite!
