WRUW Today?

Something new and I think it’s beautiful.

I feel like I have a case twin to yours. I see more than a few similarities😀

Love a glossy white dial. 👍

Omega 2777-1… HAGD All!

That wait is horrible the DMV around my area is still doing appointment only so it’s amazingly pleasant to go. Never thought I’d say that about the DMV, but those pics you took of your watch came out great. Was that just a straight shot from your cellphone? I just got one of the newer iPhones I didn’t get the like super dooper model with the 26 or whatever cameras but I was expecting better results. I’m pretty sure part of the problem is the case I got with cheap plastic covering the lenses. Sorry don’t mean to babble on just trying to see if I’m doing something wrong.

Greetings OF-
Oh happy day..... just arrived today and am thrilled to the bone - thank you @eingram141. My new - to me - Heuer Monnin 844. Of note are the red 24-hr markers, cathedral hands, Made in France, 200 METRES and PROFESSIONEL. Also signed rotor and inside case back, with Etanche acier and 844 on outer case back. It's a perfect fit. A bit of Heuer history on my wrist.
Keep safe! 👍

I was in Perpignan southern France doing a pre purchase inspection on the A319. The C130 was there for a heavy maintenance visit and they towed it out to perform engine runs in the late morning, beautiful sound from the ugly duckling.

Max Bill today!


Hi @Walrus . Nothing too special here, stock Samsung S10, but not always in auto everything mode as it will often overexpose the watch as it tries to make the sleeve/wrist or background brighter. I often go to manual mode (so called Pro mode on Samsung), to manually set exposure time. Yesterday’s long line wrist shot in full auto mode. Not great.


…vs manual w/reduced exposure and cropped. Better!


Managing reflections is also important. Car pics can help because the roof can be used as a reflection shield (close the sunroof shade) while still getting good indirect light from the windows. Yesterday in the car…terrible!


Improved by reducing reflections but still didn’t make the cut.


Down by my lap and way underexposed as you can see by the darkness of my wrist and background. WRUW material! The POLM with it’s reflective dial luvs this type of exposure, by the way.


I rarely do high sunlight out-in-the-open wristshots…just too harsh and with bright crystal reflections from the sky (although dual AR helps here). Take LOTs of pics with different lighting, angles, settings, etc and study them critically on a big monitor, not the phone. A little post processing to adjust white balance, brightness, and crop/frame the image can make a nice difference too. Post regularly on WRUW with a challenge of having a better pic than the day before! YaY!
