Been playing around with the Sony A200 DSLR I got.. and I picked up a Minolta 24mm Wide angle Prime lense for it... took some shots. Been learning lots, though I still can't shoot as good as I'd like. I need a Big$ macro lense. This is the regular Cartier Roadster... older style dial. Smaller than the Chrono. This guy is a 38mmx43mm. Looks really good though.. This one has been growing on me... I might have to get a Chrono one.

Hmmmm, not really doing it for me I'm afraid, Admin. Too much like the short-lived Franckie for my liking. (Now your IWC... now that's a different story!! That's a true thing of beauty!)

That's what I thought initially.. then when I got it it really impressed me.. the quality of the bracelet, the detail in the case.. it is really very impressive and looks good to boot. I will be keeping this one longer than the Muller for sure.

The watch style is not really for me, but it looks great solo in the pictures you took, as well as the wrist shot.

Great contrast with the background counter top!

I totally dig the Roadster! Looks like yours is the medium sized Roadster.

I would like to own a Chrono Roadster. The are a bulky 47.6mm x 42.8mm. They look HUGE on the wrist! My wife has a Roadster as well, and she really likes it.

Nice move Admin.

:thumbsup:

Crikey I didn't know the chrono's were that big! I'm just personally not a huge fan of "non-round" watches, but everyone's different.

The large Roadster is a monster!

It's just under 48mm.

I tried one on at the DFW airport and I love it!
