Great pictures of an awesome collection! Nice job!

What kinda watch winder is that?

It's a Masterpiece Watch Winder I got it for XMAS

Great 1st try....nice collection and I love the winder

some tips

1, natural light...take em to a window....avoids the on-camera flash casting a shadow and making the colours look funny

2, small aperture and slow shutter speed.....gets more in focus

3 use a camera support and the self timer.....avoids camera shake

4 shoot at highest resolution and crop out the crap......easier to post without big compression

5 raw is better than jpeg if you are going to use extreme crops

6 if using artificial light...diffuse, diffuse, diffuse.....white paper tissues over the flash helps.

I learnt these by trial and error, I am not a pro and offer them with the greatest of respect

I am going to check on a better lens today. btw how can I update my watch collection on my profile? I just got two more this month. The Emergency Mission and an Aerospace Advantage.

That's a nice collection! Congratulations!

What do you mean by updating your collection to your profile? If you mean the listing of different models some of us have in the signature, just click on "profile" in the top right corner of the page and type them in under "signature".

Two more this month? Wow. . .you are going to be hard to keep up with!

You might just need a bigger watch winder. Or maybe a separate "Breitling Only" winder.

Let's see the new updated collection!
