WristScan

. . . 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! ...  

...  

. . . you can share two static photos as well. Thanks, Art

Imho the best static is someone truly made for the task. Sherman is (literally) in a Class of his own ...  

But almost always there for the win 😁🙌🏻👌🏻

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 ...  

That JLC Complete Calendar shot is mind bogglingly good 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻

...  

Enjoy your weekend! Abel

They had a cool looking lobster sculpture in Plymouth. Had to take a wrist shot!

But tasty seafood to go with them 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

😉 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 ...  

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... 

But thx anyway ! 😊😊

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

Is one of my all time favorites of yours 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

Lots of detail and depth to the shot.

Hello dear hs. The shot of your Breguet 3773 is excellent. Well played dear friend ! Best regards Captain

. . . and wish I'd taken a photo of the Kiwi cows following my every motion with intense scrutiny.

But here are a few that I can't seem to get rid of... ...  

. . . and advise me which wrist shot should be removed? 'Statics' are photos not posed on a wrist. I can handle the editing. Thanks, Art

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

. . . per your request. Thanks, Greg!

Hopefully it wasn't the one the judges would have liked the best...

Can definitely understand, why these stayed 😊👍🏻

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 ti...  

. . . 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 . . .

.. the DB25 shot !! The latter being my fav of your Foursome !! HAGWE & Best ! 😊😊

The. DB has a lot of depth to the dial which adds to the shot for sure.

Great detail, superbly captured 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

Here’s four of my favourites so far… 🍻 ...  

😊

I made it back to shore ok😉

Thank you🙏🏻and thanks for looking.

And same to all the other Purists! I am an amateur, but will play for fun . Have a great weekend friends! ...  

I just re-read the instructions and realized it should be limited to 4 photos only. Please feel free to delete as needed. Thanks!

. . . thanks in advance, Art

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you!

. . . are the photos that should be deleted, or are those the four you wanted to remain? Personally fond of #9, btw.

...  

...  

. . . two? I'll edit them out. Thanks, Art

. . . for the deletions. 🙂

Without access to the full archive these might not be the all time best but they’re a start 😁👍🏻 ...  

. . . boy, does Casey have his work cut out for him or what? ;-) . . .

But it’s the Olympic thought that counts 😉👍🏻

Cool shots of your watch and strap combos. I love the shot of your Minerva 👍

...  

. . . should be deleted? Two statics and two wrist shots total, please. Empathetically, Art

. . . usually, our motto is 'the more the merrier', just not this week ;-) . . .

. . . that I’m in a pool hall right at this very moment?! 😂 ...  

Maybe not the best here, but trying to get the best has led to some funny situations! ...  

. . . for 'Most Humorous'.

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 ...  

. . . at that very moment.

...that's what you asked, and because 'no net, no fair tennis', right? Cheers, pplater. ...  

Four superb pieces and shots 😊👍🏻

(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. ...  

. . . 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... 

...Bob will nail it! Enjoy the wait - and your re-immersion into the gentleman's ball-game. Cheers, pplater.

. . . 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 ... 

HAGWE ...
