Sure, it all depends on the amount of light you have in your room. So in this case the weather was overcast, which is ideal, and the ISO was low (200), but shutter speed was also low (0,4 sec). Now the trick is to get as much 'lume' light in to the sensor as possible, without getting the surrounding light on the sensor. There comes the UV lamp (busted 😜)
Oh yeah, the tripod is a must

“Anyway, you know everything there is to know about this model, so let the pics do the talking.”

The pics aren’t saying “this is a great watch”, they’re saying “you are a phenomenally good photographer”.

These, and the Speedy ones, are some of the most artistically satisfying photos I have seen in ages. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I hope you get the chance to do some of the Globemaster one day.

Thank you Sir, appreciate the comment. I'm really not a photographer, I actually started taking watch photos because it's a good therapy and keeps your mind free from daily routine and problems.
Really glad that you enjoying the photos, that keeps me pushing it even further 😀
And as for the Globemaster, I would really like that. Know anyone with rose gold Annual Calendar that can lend me for a couple of months? 😜


Really cool photos

Tnx man! 😀

When you can't get on the list for Pepsi, the Coke will do just fine 😀

Posted in the WRUW thread last weekend. Today’s weather isn’t conducive to another photo shoot .

Hi Guys,
so since you liked my last "Eye Candy" thread, I thought I'd show you some shots of my Explorer 2 Polar. One of the last tool watches made by Rolex and it's been used the same. Working on everything, from cooking to chopping wood, I don't baby it at all. One of my favorite pieces I have because I like the "Under the radar" feel of it, and the proportions are spot on for my arm (I'm a big guy and the earlier model is a tad too small). Anyway, you know everything there is to know about this model, so let the pics do the talking.

Hope you like 'em. Cheers
