Dell: Great pictures, particularly like the ones in the ice and snow. The pics with the snow and water droplets actually on the watch are cool, and do a nice job of proclaiming: "
YO!! I'm waterproof!! Bring it on, Minnezotah!!!
The one thing you need to work on is the overhead glare that's diffusing the sapphire crystal and keeping the colors from the dial in looking as good as they could. This kind of UV glare is a bitch to work with outdoors, and you have to work with different camera angles, maybe a UV filter, or partially shading the dial to eliminate it. You might also want to try a flash even outdoors to override some of it. Good luck, and keep on shooting!!
If I had had the presence of mind and a good low lux digital camera at the time, I had the chance to take what would have been one of the ultimate cool Seamaster pics in a bay called Puerto Mosquito (luckily, it's just named that, and the Minnesota State "Bird" doesn't live there...) on the island of Vieques in the Spanish Virgins. At night the water glows a spooky shade of fairly bright sky blue when you run your hand or dingy or anything else through the water, and I had my wrist with my Ti SeMP in the water and it was glowing like crazy.
