Fun theme, Abel
Here are some of the faves from my collection:
The early days of Covid was scary as š¤¬ but Quarantine was one of the best times of my life which I could spend with my son. Who knew not working and just skateboarding (no surfing - ocean was closedš¤£) all day could be so great? 
Speaking of the oceanā¦ I canāt imagine my life without it.
My son laying claim on his future property
Turtle in its natural terrain
Probably my all-time faveā¦ there is something magical about the reflections and lighting
Perhaps not the greatest shot but that dial is sooo nice
Another with a dial to die for! I find the case, chapter ring and hands exceptional as well
My wife is the best model
And the Tradition is IMO Breguetās best model
Shadow and Light often makes for compelling images
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend,
Brandon

A great wrist shot of one of my favorite watches in my collection too. You describe it so well and I can well understand why this is a favorite shot of yours. Hagwe!! Abel
Hello Abel
As I am relatively new to taking watch photographs this week was easy for me. My Explorer from my most recent holiday and my Bronze just being in the right spot at the right time. Bring on the weekend. š» Regards Kurt ...
Two excellent wrist shots Kurt ā¦
I particularly like the shot of your Explorer, both are excellent.
Hello Kurt!! Thank you so much for your participationā¦
ā¦ with two great shots. You say you are new to watch photography but it looks like you already got the knack of it when viewing these two great shots here. Itās always nice to add interest to a shot with some props like in the first one and you captured t...
This Explorer is a timeless classic.
The watch you would take if you had to survive on an inhabited island for example. May congrats. All the best Thomas
Yes indeed š
Thanks Thomas! šš¼ BTW love your post as always particularly the Hublot, one of the nicest Iāve seen. Kind regards, Kurt.

Hello enjoythemusic! Wow! What a close up!
It shows the beautiful movement of your Czapek in all its glory!! A beautiful watch you share in your intriguing wrist shot with those pink flamingos behind. Those ābirdsā in the out of focus background help to add interest and intrigue to a shot as the v...
Hello dear friends! Here a few of my favorite watch shotsā¦
This shot was taken a few years ago in Miami Beach. The sky suddenly turned darker and darker and a few minutes after this picture was taken a thick rain poured over this part of the city provoking a flooding. This shot I titled āFrogs Love!ā And the idea...
Thank you so much for your kind compliments dear friend Yacomino! Yes, it was an interesting experience though a bit scary.
We viewed many objects from neighbour buildings flying and we prayed the storm would end soon to allow our flight departure to bring us back home. Fortunately we could finally fly though it was not easy for our taxi to the airport to sort through partally...

PAM 1499
This is one of my best attempts at watch photography. DHL delivered the Corrigia strap about ten minutes after Fedex dropped off the Panerai. I just happened to have the jacket on that nicely complimented the strap stitching and lume color. ...

Hello Clive! Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful shots.
Wonderful British Military Omega on your wrist very appropriate for piloting a vintage plane like this superb DH Chipmunk. I would love to be seated in that cockpit!! Lucky you to be able to start piloting airplanes at that early age! Big congrats and I w...
Incredible pictures

I love this shot too Ted!! The Fiddy is a very photogenic watch.
The big domed plexi of yhis model makes a big difference!! Great wrist shot! Hagwe Abel
Fantastic theme this week dear Abel! However I must say it is a challenge for me to pick only a few because I love so many of the wrist shot I found from the archiv!
I had to stop at one point because I just had too many )). For me two attributes will make a wrist shot standout. Most often it is the lighting of the picture and its ability to reveal nuances in the watch dial or depth for example. This represent the maj...
Hello dear friend Yakomino! You say it was difficult to make a choice among your favorite shots but reached a great selection here.
Now the Judges will have a tough job to award the winning shots among so many wonderful pictures from you and other participants! Lol! Great watches and shots! Thank you! Hagwe Abel

Hello Terbaboom! Thank you for your participation and kind comments about my own shots. My big pleasure to host.
I feel it's very important to develop a personal style in photography and it's clear you have your own with high quality close approaches to your new arrivals showing details of dials or movements. New arrivals always inspire us to shoot them and discover...

Thanks for posting Abel. Tudor in its right element.
My contribution would be this photo from my swim in the ocean on a rainy day. You c an see the raindrops on the surface of the water. My Tudor BB 58 in its right element. Enjoy! ...
Hello Lars! That's an awesome shot of your BB58! Of course I can clearly see the rain drops falling on water surface!
