RobbieG Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Well here is the rest of them. I'm glad that I finally got around to shooting this piece. It has been getting a lot of wear lately as I guess I am enjoying a return to elegance and simplicity and this is a natural companion to that. I must say that this piece is the single toughest ever to capture with natural light which is all I ever use in photography. I had a real tough time with the reflective surfaces. The dial is just stunning in terms of depth of color and I wish I could say I really captured all the nuances. Oh well. Here is the best I could do today...

FxrAndy Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Is that the White gold or SS version, very nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 It is a hybrid of sorts. SS case and bracelet. WG applied markers, rhodium hands plated in WG and WG bezel. Is that the White gold or SS version, very nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Simply gorgeous. I've always been partial to the DJ, even though it's too small for me. And I still like it, maybe even more so, with the update rehaut ring, the brushed / polish oyster bracelet, and the wider lugs. The rhodium roman dial with SS and WG, smooth bezel, and oyster bracelet is simply to die for.... The day they make it in 40mm, I'm all over it. Enjoy!

FxrAndy Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 It was big enough for Tony Soprano Chief! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Excellent piece Robbie. I am a fan of the less dressy rollies. Your photography skills are brilliant too, well worthy of being used in a DJ catalogue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 You are too kind. There is usually a lot of "room noise" in my pics because I don't use a tent or light box so you always see those imperfect reflections in the polished surfaces. I get rid of a lot of it in processing but not all. Anyway, I'm just an amatuer at best. I could probably improve a lot if I used a controlled light environment, but I love the realism natural light brings to the watches so to me the sacrifice is worth it. On those same lines, that is what I always loved about many of Bytor's works. Many of them are "out in a room somewhere" and it somehow humanizes the watches for me. You are my hero BT! Excellent piece Robbie. I am a fan of the less dressy rollies. Your photography skills are brilliant too, well worthy of being used in a DJ catalogue! Yes, the acting boss of New Jersey wears his yellow gold Day-Date President with Champagne dial and fluted bezel with pride - and Jimmy G. is one big dude. Big boys CAN wear 36MM watches - they just have to be confident in their masculinity. LOL... It was big enough for Tony Soprano Chief!

HauteHippie Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 It was big enough for Tony Soprano Chief! True!!! Technically I think his was a Presidential model in yellow gold, but the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yes, Tony's watch is a yellow gold Day-Date with President bracelet, fluted bezel and the classic old Champagne dial as I had mentioned, but I'm not sure if the dial has diamond markers or batons. I don't think it is romans - although given his heritage maybe it should be... True!!! Technically I think his was a Presidential model in yellow gold, but the same size.
