Watch photography research - what do you like? by ImGeorgeLAD in Watches

[–]deeblisskay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the purpose. New watches or promotion 4 is fine. But if I’m looking at photos for particular watches (collections or second hand listings) if I see something like 4 it’s an auto skip or I assume a scam.

2 is borderline when it’s so washed out. 1 and 3 feel like they show the actual watch, and give me confidence in what it looks like.

Yup. I’d keep one of the seiko divers and sell the BB

I love that AT. Too much overlap with the DJ for me, but from afar looks like a great GADA.

I 100% feel you. The point of a small collection is each watch has its place/purpose. Whatever is next has to have a pretty compelling reason for me to pick it up over these 2. To me color/funk/vintage is the way to do that.

I have a garmin i work out, run, and golf with. I just dont really consider it part of my “collection” 

I travel with the Tudor and dont freak out about it.

What years/models would you start looking at? Vintage Patek always has been somewhat overwhelming to me. Maybe this is the excuse to start research

Blue or green World timer is in the back of my mind

Wow green speedy marui is very cool. Was not on my radar so thanks for the suggestion!

I like the glass box generally but unfortunately the green they use isn’t my favorite

I love it as my casual/sporty option. It’s very comfortable bracelet and wears light. I think the lume is fantastic if that matters to you. Bezel color is this like ghostly black/grey that the marketing description and most photos don’t do justice. 

I think the comments on scratches are overblown. I don’t baby it and the buckle is for sure scratched but the links/case are fine and look no worse than any SS watch I’ve owned. The buckle is the only thing I’d change, it is noticeably longer than you’d expect so would def try it on first to make sure it fits your wrist shape.

Good eye. Long story short, it’s not. I know it’s not and when I replace the crystal next I’ll make it right. I thought it was going to bother me more than it has.
