panerai153 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I just got in a new watch yesterday, AP Forged Carbon Diver. Brand new from another great member here who did a C&R. At any rate, I was taking some photos last night, thought you might like to see them. Actually I was trying to do some serious photos, and somehow I hit the wrong button, or combo of buttons, and the camera shifted into "photo effects" mode. I was just merrily snapping away, and didn't realize what happened until I downloaded the photos and looked at them on my computer. I was a little PO'ed at first, because of what I did, I would need to go back and redo the photos. Well, I realized, sometimes we are a little too anal about our watches here, and maybe we need to loosen up some!! It's a cold gloomy Saturday here, and I'm on call as well, so anything to brighten the day !! Here is my new AP Forged Carbon V3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Thanks for that...I thought my eyes had gone...I just spent last 5 minutes checking my eyes and trying on my wifes glasses !! Maybe if I stare at it long enough i might see something else I want to ask but I am not sure I would understand the answer ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I want to ask but I am not sure I would understand the answer ... He set up his camera to convert the image to resemble an oil painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Actually, it was and accident, somehow I went from normal "photo effects" off to "watercolor effect" without realizing it. had I been looking at each after I took it, I would have noticed it on the first one, but I took abiout 5-6 shots and then looked and realized what happened!! Here is a wristie that I took a few minutes after I discovered the "special effects" and turned them off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Looks good. Maybe it's the angle, but the screw at 20 looks more recessed than the others. Sent from Samsung Note 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martijnp Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Beautiful watch mate! Wear it in good health The pictures are very nice but I would't use the blurr effect, it's a great setting for a diving watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Beautiful watch mate! Wear it in good health The pictures are very nice but I would't use the blurr effect, it's a great setting for a diving watch! Thanks, Actually I didn't realize the special effects were on. I am going to redo those photos with the camera on normal setting. I'm very pleased with this watch. First AP. I looked it over with a 4X loupe, and I'm amazed at how nice everything is put together! The screw @ 20 is a tad lower, but doesn't bother me that much. I plan on sending it to Vac at some point for a movement transplant. I have new ETA 2824 as well as a NOS 2846 for the transplant. I'll have him even out the screws at that time. Also, I ran it through my pressure tester yesterday, passed 5 atmos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
