    Some great shots. I'm assuming you can't take pictures like these with your cell phone. If you can, please post instructions.

    Beautiful photos Zapatta! Well done :thumbsup: My pair below says hello. Best I could do with my iPhone. I need to start making friends with people who have cameras :)

    2 pie-pan constellations with 70 years between them. 1956 with caliber 505, and a 2016 Globemaster with caliber 8900.

    Remarkably, the caliber 505's rotor from 1956 operates quieter than Omega's current 880x range and Rolex's 32xx movements.

    What a giant leap backwards today's ceramic ball bearings are, compared to the refined user experience of quiet rotors achieved all the back in the 1950s. ::facepalm2::

    @Alfista88 wow, love them both! To bad, I didnt had any chance to play with Globemaster!

    What I learned about watch photograph: its all about light and angles. ::stirthepot::
