WS edition for Friday 27th Theme: “My Favorite Watch Shots” is Open Now!!
Hello dear friends! I have the pleasure to be your host this weekend. As announced past Wednesday the Theme for the present edition requests our participants to share with us their favorite watch shots treasured in their archives. Those who enjoy both tak...
Here we go then: rambler on sharkie
Simple, comfy, quirky, unusual, always ready to get dirty or wet, unbreakable just like its humble owner ...
Thank you so much for your entry Arronax!
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. 🍻 Regards Kurt ...
Two excellent wrist shots Kurt …
I particularly like the shot of your Explorer, both are excellent.
Hello Kurt!! Thank you so much for your participation…
… 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. It’s 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 😀
Thanks Thomas! 🙏🏼 BTW love your post as always particularly the Hublot, one of the nicest I’ve seen. Kind regards, Kurt.
Hello @lberti! You share a nice classic wrist shot of your…
… Speedy. A great strap choice and the right lightning make for an special favorite shot. Hagwe! Abel
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 “birds” 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 shots…
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 “Frogs Love!” 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...
Hej, Abel !.. Nifty line–up of great pics & Thx for a stimulating theme this week ,..
Specifically like the first dark–sky and PAM shot, very well caught ambiance & mood – truly a great pic ! Next to that the Kermit shot is a bit funny but well done and I always like your Coke & Pepsi pics; that multi–colored Pepsi & reflection...
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 Uppersouth! Welcome to WS!!
Big congrats on your new Panerai and straps!! Love that white dial Pam and the matching color jacket!! Nice shot to share your new commer to your collection!! Enjoy it so much! Hagwe Abel

For me it has to be these shots doing what I have loved . .
. . . for most of my life since age 17 (+6 weeks). Thanks for the opportunity to share again. Clive PS: WP964 (GHDAE) sadly does not belong to me but I am very privileged fly it. The photo of the me in formation was taken by its owner from his other aerop...
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
not many of us are able to make. It’s a fascinating passion you have, chippyfly. All the best Thomas
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
You sre copying Abel's style of contest: a big armada to silence all others! 😃
Some outstanding shots, dear yacomino: VC CV green strap, Hentschel brown strap and the first glowing Explorer shot!
Fun theme, Abel
Here are some of the faves from my collection: The early days of Covid was scary as 🤬 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 closed🤣) all day...
Hello dear Brandon! You share a fantastic group of favorite watch shots... And timepieces!
Pandemia years were scary, dangerous and a drama for Humankind. But it offered some unique opportunities for us at same time. Your experience with your little cute son is a good example and shows in your adorable shot skating together and capturing the th...
Hello, Brandon !.. What a nice line–up of shots, several of them really excellent !

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 your kind words Abel!
indeed, it's always exciting when a new watch arrives and i can't wait to photograph it every time.
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!
You also have captured your watch with a dramatic light of dark clouded sky and water adding to the mood of this picture. Well done! Thanks a lot for your participation. Hagwe, Abel
Great theme, dear Abel!
Let me start in style with an innocent and unspoiled shot ... ... later the evening some more to come! ...

Hmmhh, Abel & Team !.. Let me see what to chip in to play..
Some of you may have seen one or another pic, but that‘s more or less expectable & I hope you‘ll bear with me.. An autumnal shot in the City – Curves, curves from the 70ies.. A cool shot on a hot day on the Piazza della Pantheon/ Roma Just chilling in...

Wow! Some breathtaking favorite watch shots you are sharing here my dear Captain!
Absolutely agree with your words my dear friend. You have just contributed to make the job of judges so hard this weekend Captain with these great shots you share. Not easy to declare just one favorite. I deeply love your Moonshine shot for your choice of...
A great selection Captain! You have so many great shots in your HD…
… I can well imagine it was not an easy task choosing them. Cheers! Abel
Thank you dear friend 🙏…
It was both fun and nerve wracking, trying to get the angle and not damaging the watch 😱
Hej Capt‘n !.. Great line–up and fine moods & ambiance on all your shots !
My personal favs are the Daytona/Zenith shot, and your both PP pics with Calendrier & Nautilus are sublime ! And yes, I can relate to the difficulty of choice we all may have faced among our stable marvels.. – Have a good remaining Sunday and a great upco...
