Re: amazing watches & photos
In Response To: amazing watches & photos ()

Thanks Shaun!
Actually, the faulting handed v92 I sold to Manuel, I kinda regret that a little, but I am happy others got to enjoy it.
The lume on the hands is amazing, but it's not original. When I bought it, it had been resumed in white, so James resumed it to a vintage hue, he did an amazing job.

As for my favourite, that's difficult, it depends what mood I'm in. The Rindt has a lively vintage warm feeling when I wear it, but the later 11063 Gmt & Decomp really 'do it' for me, superb watches and a little underrated in the world of Autavia.

My photo set-up...
I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.. I'm no photographer, in the true sense of the technical side. I use a light tent, x2 mini lights and an old point n shoot panasonic lumix 7mp.
I'm pretty handy in Photoshop, so fiddle with the light/contrast etc.

Cheers
Stewart
