Every time I say to myself, "Judging has gotta be easier this week . . .
. . . than last," I'm wrong.
So many outstanding photos that followed Abel's theme, starting with his own Rado featuring seahorses facing off . . .
. . . Marcus' black Monza against a black background . . .
. . . any of Timeout's saturated Lange photos . . .
. . . Francis5's RD giving new meaning to the phrase 'Golden Ratio' . . .
. . . K's Seamaster in preparation for a strap change . . .
. . . Cap's tribute to Steve McQueen Heuer . . .
. . . Chronometer's GS that was difficult to capture (I know because I've tried to take the same shot multiple times without success) . . .
. . . Chaiwat's SE displaying hypnotic finishing . . .
. . . S F's composition revealing the appeal of rectangular forms . . .
. . . HighEndOne's slide-rule contemporary Accutron . . .
. . . enjoythemusic's Torsti Laine that could've been designed by DaVinci . . .
. . . and Timeout's JLC that probably was inspired by Leonardo . . .
. . . plus his futuristic DeBethune, which also looks the business from the back.
Bronze goes to Abel for this bold composition of his OP . . .
. . . silver to Timeout for this appealing capture of his KV, and . . .
. . . gold to h for this clear expression . . .
. . . of his Patek.
A special moderator's award to Hans for this photo . . .
. . . of his Omega Kleerback, which was made for Omega distributors enabling them to show their movements to clients. It's a pioneer in the field of display backs, predating Chronoswiss by decades.
Hope to see you all next Friday, and have a good week ahead!

Well played Abel …
It’s not easy strapping a watch on in reverse and taking a wrist shot…I know as I tried 😉
Ha ha ha!! Not easy indeed !
It took several tries because I didn’t reverse the straps. Probably the best way. I used a big paper clip to maintain the no reversed straps closed on my wrist. Lol!! Thank you my friend!
That´s a great shot! Reversing the mesh bracelet must be very tricky I feel. Thank you so much for sharing this shot and again thnak you so much for your kind help judging!
Have a good week ahead my dear friend. Best, Abel
