Hi Art - interesting theme for this week and I like the limit on shots which makes for more thought at our end!
Here’s my first wrist shot. Black and white shot for a black and white watch. 
Second wrist shot of my Moser Endeavour Dual Time Tourbillon. 
First static is a macro dial shot of my DB 25 Starry Varius GMT. 
And my final entry is another dial macro - this time my Nautilus. 
Thanks for hosting!

Wrist Scan Personal Best is live! . . .
. . . let's share the best photos we've ever taken of our watches, with a limit of two wrist shots and two posed off your wrist. Our Photography Forum Casey H will be judging both the Wrist Shot and Static Photo categories on Sunday. Let the Games begin! ...
A most humble thanks. Hmm, two more and being static...
Imho the best static is someone truly made for the task. Sherman is (literally) in a Class of his own ...
My four:)
I had to resist the urge to post pure Urushi shots - it both challenging & wonderful to photograph, I've added some other options as trying to refrain from the obvious. Cheers JML ...
Thanks! That was at Cape Cod
They had a cool looking lobster sculpture in Plymouth. Had to take a wrist shot!
Hmmhh.. Let me see how to play..
😉 Breguet 3773 - I love the fine Guillochè on this Triple Calendar A cool shot on a hot day - JLC DSA-EU LC 3072 - A Child of the 70ies: curves, curves, curves.. My oldest „good watch“: Rolex Date 16000 ...
Great shots as usual dear friend HS!! The Breguet awesome dial is shown in all its glory in your first close up. And the DSA EU is a "cool" shot literally! Lol!
Then your Le Coultre Alarm is truly representative of the 70' s style with its charming pebble shape. I specially like your lovely Rolex Date (an early one I feel) with the Bokeh effect flower in background making a great shot of this charming watch. Well...
My big pleasure to view and comment even if I knew and remembered some of these shots specially the LC one and the Rolex Date.
The Date shot is a winner. I find the Bokeh effect rightfully done to make it a very special picture. Have a great weekend dear HS! Best cordial regards, Abel
Really like the capture of the dial in the Breguet!
Lots of detail and depth to the shot.
Breguet 3773 ….
Hello dear hs. The shot of your Breguet 3773 is excellent. Well played dear friend ! Best regards Captain
Had the same experience in New Zealand while on a walk thru the countryside . . .
. . . and wish I'd taken a photo of the Kiwi cows following my every motion with intense scrutiny.
Typically I delete watch pics after I've posted them because otherwise my phone would be full of nothing but watch pics!
But here are a few that I can't seem to get rid of... ...
Appreciate your joining in, Greg, but three are wrist shots. Can you share one more static . . .
. . . and advise me which wrist shot should be removed? 'Statics' are photos not posed on a wrist. I can handle the editing. Thanks, Art
Oops!
I thought the Croton with beer was static but I see I was wrong. I think I can still edit but if not thats the one to delete. I'll re-do it now
Some real classic beauties you post here!
Can definitely understand, why these stayed 😊👍🏻

Casey has judged 'Personal Best' a few times in the past . . .
. . . but this time I felt it would be fairer for all participants to limit their submissions. Not to mention easing Casey's burden of going thru reams of photos . . .
Splendid shots !.. Specifically like your Moser &..
.. the DB25 shot !! The latter being my fav of your Foursome !! HAGWE & Best ! 😊😊
Many thank HS.
The. DB has a lot of depth to the dial which adds to the shot for sure.
Very nice Dr No!
And same to all the other Purists! I am an amateur, but will play for fun . Have a great weekend friends! ...
I apologize
I just re-read the instructions and realized it should be limited to 4 photos only. Please feel free to delete as needed. Thanks!
That would leave five, one more than allowed. Are you sure 1, 5, 8, and 9 . . .
. . . are the photos that should be deleted, or are those the four you wanted to remain? Personally fond of #9, btw.
Two of your wrist shots should be deleted. Which . . .
. . . two? I'll edit them out. Thanks, Art
Here we go…
Without access to the full archive these might not be the all time best but they’re a start 😁👍🏻 ...
Thanks, K! . . .
. . . boy, does Casey have his work cut out for him or what? ;-) . . .
Hello dear KMII …
Cool shots of your watch and strap combos. I love the shot of your Minerva 👍
I'm truly sorry, C, but session limits have to be adhered to. Which photos . . .
. . . should be deleted? Two statics and two wrist shots total, please. Empathetically, Art
Thanks, C! . . .
. . . usually, our motto is 'the more the merrier', just not this week ;-) . . .
How the hell did you know . . .
. . . that I’m in a pool hall right at this very moment?! 😂 ...
Here are my recent 2 static and 2 wrist
Maybe not the best here, but trying to get the best has led to some funny situations! ...
I only have one that I love …
and it isn’t the watch. An old photo as we no longer have Nova due to bone cancer but she was a sweetheart (and watch liver of course). Cheers, Jonathan ...
Posting four here because, ummmm...
...that's what you asked, and because 'no net, no fair tennis', right? Cheers, pplater. ...
Paris had a similar problem...
(Painting by Botticelli, image by Wikipaedia) Your dilemma, of course, is made a little easier by the fact that they share a common movement. Cheers, pplater. ...
Thanks for 'getting it', pplater. Most have, thankfully, . . .
. . . and frankly, the limit is at least as much for Casey's benefit as for leveling the playing field. It's quite a task he's taken on, judging both categories. Art PS - played snooker last night for the first time since '69, and yes, Bob is making a cue...
If history is anything to go by...
...Bob will nail it! Enjoy the wait - and your re-immersion into the gentleman's ball-game. Cheers, pplater.
Bob trimmed a purpleheart shaft down to 11 mm at the tip . . .
. . . and will aim for the same diameter in maple. Pool cue shafts are typically 12.75 mm +/- .25 mm, snooker cues are between 9 and 10.5 mm. The reason he can't go any narrower than 11 mm is the ferrule materials he has on hand to work with aren't up to ...
