Royal Oak 15400 - DSLR Daytime Shots ***Updated 1st May 2013***
Sorry, the previous thread, the pics links were moved so I have to re-post this thread. So this is the updated thread after I re-link them. Now it's working. I got some time today to spare so I whipped out my Nikon DSLR and tripod and started to shoot these. Almost all of my shots of the AP RO15400 that I posted in this forum have been captured with my Galaxy Note mobilephone cam so far. It's surprising how clear and sharp the pictures often turn out to be. Yet, as good as camera-phones have generally improved, it's still not adequate enough to challenge DSLR for really detailed close-up shots or low-lighting shots.Such as this :As a recent watch collector, I see my timepieces as not just mere watches but work of art that I can wear on my wrist, which especially in Haute Holorogie timepieces like Audemars Piguet, they are all finely crafted and meticulously furnished for our enjoyment.This is my 4th album of this watch and the first to use only DSLR. It's shot mostly with my Nikon D51
My first Breitling....
An oldie but I think a goodie.....
1969 Speedy - Opinions Please
Whilst my Grail watch would be a 1967 Speedy, I'm also looking for a 1969 and yesterday came across this one and wanted your opinions please.It's post moon, just and hence has what is apparently a rarer case back as I've pictured below. The dealer tells me it's totally original and I have to say that under a loupe it does look very convincing although I've a feeling the hands may have been relumed or changed but a long time ago.I'm also confused as to whether or not it should have the dot above to 90 or not? Am I right in thinking that this was a transitional year for that?I'd really appreciate your thoughts, criticisms and observations before I go and spend $6,000.Thanks.2016-01-26 16.11.28 (2).jpgP1020028.jpg
Anyone here have the new Bullhead?
Anyone here have any experience with new Bullhead? Really liking the white dial version.
Manual winding?
This is new to me, saw this cool moonphase watch though. In real life, how is manual winding different from an automatic? Does this mean, this sounds sorta dumb maybe, that if you wear the watch all the time you still have to wind it about ever 2 days? Thanks.
