tonyp1 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 You want the watches or the photography critiqued? Im up for both! Is my photography that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Im up for both! Is my photography that bad? No, but you need to soften the light to make the details on the watches easier to see. Try making a light tent or holding a pillowcase between the light and the watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Don't know much about Submariner nuances but I can see that the gold looks fake. Maybe it's the photography. TT subs are pretty notorious for dial and band color variations from the genuines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyp1 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Thanks, I have a really cheap camera that barely has a micro setting. Pug I used to have a F4 and a F3 but I sold them on ebay because they were just so complicated. Thats how I ended up with the cheap point and shoot.

You just need to fix the lighting if you want us to help you evaluate the watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyp1 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) Maybe this helps not saying the color is perfect by any means. Also here is a (borrowed) pic from By-tors article showing gen verse fake. Gen on the left Fake on the right. The Gens gold is whiter than the fakes but i have been noticing variances from year to year. It seems that older rolex models have a decidedly yellow gold whereas the newer models seem to be a whiter shade of gold.

Corgi Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 This is an interesting post, because I'm thinking of getting that two-tone sub from Joshua when the snow melts away. Can anyone tell me how close Joshua's TT is to genuine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
