  1. Santa got me the nice Nifty Fifty, the 50mm f1.8. It's a little piece of plastic, but sucks light nicely and do the job for a 100 euro circa.

    I'm, really happy with it! Nice bookeeeeeehlicious pics!

     

    Anyway, I'm using the 50 f1.8 on a crop sensor (EOS 600D), it's 50 * 1.6. Good for portraits, details, but it puts a limit to what you can actually shoot.

     

    So I'm twitched between a Canon 35mm f2, 28mm f1.8 (wider and more light!!!) and the crop sensor designed Sigma 30mm f1.4.

     

    Does anyone have a 35 mm f2? Or the 28mm f1.8?

    I mainly do shoot watches and street photography.

     

    I think I'll not choose the Sigma, only because I might upgrade in the future to a full frame body...

     

    Any advice welcome!

  2. Great shots.   I'm a big Omega fan but nothing beats the classic steel Sub.
    Since this review I worn only the Omega as a daily beater. Tomorrow I'll switch back to Rolex. I consider them my two favorite watches, but I have to admit I have a favorite one. Sadly nothing has the size, charme, appearence, appeal, sexyness of a steel submariner.
  3. Interesting comparison laying these two watches next to each other.

    I would preffer the Omega mostly because of the more beatifull bracelet.

    Tnx!

    The sub is smaller. You should try it on the wrist. They have pros and cons just like everything in life.

    The Omega is a stunning watch and gen lume charge very hard!

    Thanks everyone for the appreciation.

    Wetty Seamaster of focus

    And Submariner on focus

    Even staring at this distance you can definitely see the 2 mm difference in the bracelet, the case, the dial.

    The Submariner is definitely smaller!

    Double AR. Can't fight that.

    Rolex in focus...ohhh that awesome endlink fit! Only a gen can do that!

     

    So here we are. This is the end.

    Hope you enjoyed this!

     

    Take care

  5. So, let's talk about the 14060M...

    It's gourgeous. Period.

     

    IMG_1186.jpg

     

    IMG_1198.jpg

     

    Beautifully layed down in the snow. That black and steel beauty!

     

    Altough the superluminova dial doesn't charge quickly as the Omega....

     

    IMG_1193.jpg

     

    Zooming in...

    IMG_1190.jpg

     

    A little more....

     

    IMG_1194.jpg

     

    So let's see how does it look on the tree.

     

    IMG_1226.jpg

     

    IMG_1229.jpg

     

    IMG_1228.jpg

     

    So let's see a crystal comparison...

     

    IMG_1225.jpg

     

    Ok, got it. It's like shooting on the Red Cross.

     

    Let's see if closing up will get this any better.....nope!

     

    IMG_1225b.jpg

     

    No ARed Crystal says: "Ok, double AR you won. But remember you can be scratched 10x more easily than me!!!!"

     

    In the next and final chapter we'll see those two beauties pose together for us!

    Why this review?

     

    Because I feel like these two watches are the most versatile watches I own. I wear'em often, instead of the Tudor 70330N for example, which I'm considering to sell for another Rolex...dunno yet...tempted by a 16700/10 or a 168000. Oh well, tempted even by the grail 16520 in white... but 8200 euros are too much money now.

     

    So let's start with the Omega 2054.50. Yes, not 2254.50, but 2054.50. If you google that, you'll find out what's the difference. I like this combo a lot. Never thought it could work, but once I swapped the bracelet...BANG! Worked to my eyes...

     

    IMG_1184.jpg

     

    Mmm that double ARed crystal! (yes, I forgot to mention this is a franken and that's a Chief double ARed crystal).

     

    Also yesterday has snowed here in North Italy, so today only frozing pics for you guys!

     

    IMG_1182.jpg

     

    Zoom out. That black wawed dial....Those drops on the bracelet midlinks

     

    IMG_1185.jpg

     

    And zoom in! Yes, you can say that. The dial is amazing. And the genuine lume is charging harder. You can notice it's already glowing.

     

    If you are a true WIS and nitpicker, you can notice the SEL gap between the upper left lug, and that the insert is after market.

    Those things are really disturbing... I'm considering buying a gen case on cousinsuk. They run for about 610 euros or so. Will it worth the investment? Yes and no.

    I would like to save some money for my next watch, so probably this investment will wait...

     

    Let's continue...

     

    IMG_1199.jpg

     

    IMG_1202.jpg

     

    Let's zoom in!

     

    IMG_1201.jpg

     

    Ahhh nothing like a gen dial!

     

    IMG_1209.jpg

     

    OH LORD MY EYES! WHAT HAPPENED! JEEZ!!!! Anyway, a gen tree.

     

    IMG_1210.jpg

     

    Oh that's better!

     

    And close up....

     

    IMG_1207.jpg

     

    So, in the next post we'll see some Rolex eyecandy!

  7. I never tought I would have liked an Omega SMP with the bond bracelet...

     

    Turns out that the 2054.50 is a classy watch... I like it a lot!!!


    More to come....stay tuned.
