How Professional Photographers Retouch Watch Pictures: Rolex Daytona
Most people don't pay much attention to product photography. When we see advertisements that feature "things" we sort of take them for granted. Everything that is professionally photographed these days is also professionally processed using image editing software. watches-dealer takes a lot of watch pictures so we know some of the challenges and cheats that the pros use when they have a lot of tools at their disposal. One thing you may not know is that a lot of the time watches sent to pro photographers don't even have a crystal installed. Here is an interesting video that shows a time lapse process of a Rolex Daytona watch image being transformed into the beautiful type of image millions upon millions of people will see and admire.In this video, photographer Andreas J?rg shows us just how much skill and attention to detail is required to bring an already fantastic platinum Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona photo to perfection. It's unfortunate that this video omits the 1.5-hou

PIAGET Altiplano 900P Only Watch 2015
To join the fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) which affects almost 250,000 boys worldwide, Piaget has designed a unique version of its Altiplano especially for Only Watch. This watch will be auctioned off along with forty other timekeeping devices on November 7th. Famous for being the world's thinnest mechanical watch, the Altiplano model is fitted with a manual wind calibre which you can glimpse on the front and back. The slim figure doesn't allow for a dial (3.65mm thick) but the black satin-finish surface gleams in the 38mm white gold case. The hours and minutes tick by beneath two red baton-shape hands which glide over a painstakingly graduated silver ring. The hour rim switches between long single and double-thickness black indices off-centre in the top left of the watch. The power reserve lasts up to 48 hours. Unique piece �C onlywatch

I guess it is fine if I keep the watch for life, but how does it effect resale value?

just arrived! PAM0024
I'd been hunting for a new watch for a few months now and it was starting to get more and more complicated, I had my mind set, then I saw something else that appealed, and on it went! I walked up and down Collins St seeking out the right watch, at the right price.Rolex, no budge on price and wait for stock to arrive! I decided that was not good enough so I moved on, Omega, pretty much the same with the excuse that it lessens the name, well, it pays your wages too if I buy one...but the Seamaster GMT felt cheap and certainly not worthy of the $9400 price tag.Today, I thought bugger this, I need to get the watch and be done with it..I waltzed in to The Hour Glass and the lovely young NZ girl served me straight away.She asked what I was looking for and I told her straight out...she asked which model I was interested in and I told her this is the one! PAM0024, and she pulled it out and let me play around with it.I played, she watched, I talked to her about watches and asked her why she doe
