Re: These Take Some Work to Shoot
In Response To: These Take Some Work to Shoot ()

Why do we think that is? Something about the shape, or the crystal?

I remembered Jeff writing something similar about the "paintless wonder" and a quick search comes up with the following:

"The only problem with the watch is that it really doesn't like to have its picture taken, and makes some really ugly faces when it is forced to smile."

Nice description and no wonder they are hard to photo when the watch is trying to hinder you!

Still, nice watch Toni and I like the way the dial comes out a more porcelain blue in the photo.
