    I just came upon these photos of my watches that my friend @Optimizer13 took last year with his Fuji SLR, and thought I'd share them (some have been shared before in other threads).

    What lovely photos. Those were some nice bubblebacks too. Always wanted one of those. Especially a California Dial.

    ((((Boing))))


    The dials on the last (3) are impossibly clean.

    A dirty little secret of vintage is that white watches (steel) tend to have better preserved dials. I guess it makes common sense if you think about it.

    The patina on those GMT is absolutely incredible. Been looking for a proper 1675 for awhile but it keeps eluding me.
