A pair of Dates

[alligoat]

Left is a 1966 Date, dial has turned from silver to a soft beige.

Right is a 70's Date- gold shell w/ a faceted silver dial.

These are the 34mm Dates, 1500 and 1550 model numbers.

Just trying to improve my photo skills w/ my wife's camera- ha, she's at work!

While the cat's away, huh?

Great pic of a pair of classics.

Thanks guys. I'm just trying to improve my photo skills slowly but surely. This is the best camera my wife's bought so far and it seems to help alot.

I noticed I have two different sized crowns- 6mm on the ss Date and 5.3 on the gold shell. And two different DW's- the gold shell one is more correct, flat top 3's etc. The ss Dw is closed 6's and 9's and round top 3's- a later rolex replacement or aftermarket???

Two great looking classics!

How about some macros?

Shoot JoJo, they're supposed to be macros, but I know they're slightly out of focus...

The silver dial on that gold model is hotttt

upped the mp's, let's see what happens:

16800 gen on left, franken on the right

[alligoat]

Higher mp's??

There should be a setting for image size. These later pics are better, but I would bet the camera is capable of larger image sizes - 1024x768 pixels is about prime for most screen sizes.

Thanks Freddy. The idiot behind the camera's going to keep after it!

I notice one watch is 1m3s faster than the other (and it's driving me mad!!!). Is there a reason for this?

Love the watches though, do they wear big on the wrist, 34mm just seems to be pushing the boundary at the moment? Smallest I have is my DJs at 36mm which are fine size wise.

Very nice Oysterdates !!

[TeeJay]

Very Tasty

I think the dial print 'Date', is nicer than 'DateJust'. I know that there is the DayDate, but I feel that 'DateJust' sounds like it is apologizing for only having the date function, and not the additional day function, so 'Date' just covers exactly what it is and what it has That's a fine pair of watches, wear them in good health

Thanks BT, I keep the watches on a winder and therefore they vary slightly, I just didn't set them in synch.

They actually wear just fine, but they are slightly smaller than a DJ, but I have both and it doesn't bother me- kinda like the 34 mm MKII Explorer, it's small, but it works just fine for me.

Thanks TJ and Raijor.
