By-Tor Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Great watch indeed. But the presentation of your pics sucked. And the white balance and contrast levels were off...and they need to be resized to max 800x something to get them properly viewable. I wanted to see this beauty properly (I'm sure others too) so I fixed the shots (somewhat). Took me 2 minutes. Hope you don't mind.

By-Tor Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Glad you liked 'em. This is what I did, no rocket science here. Load Photoshop and the picture 1 .Click "Image -> Adjust -> Auto Levels" 2. Click "Image -> Image Size -> (insert preferable value here) 3. Click "Filter -> Sharpen -> Unsharp mask (value 0.2) -> OK (I use this, it's not necessary but it gives me good results) 3. Overwrite Easy as that. The white balance in your camera is off... when you shoot in the bathroom or any other place with fluorescent light just choose that option from your camera. "Auto Levels" in Photoshop fixes the white balance quite well though (in most cases). Good luck practicing.

Highflyingclive Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 The watch rocks (other than the seaNaster) I think you'll find that at last, the spelling is correct - seaMaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchski Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think you'll find that at last, the spelling is correct - seaMaster Yes, it is right indeed but that M always looks funny to me. That is a gorgeous watch. You bought it from sean? what did it run ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I just get one now before the Chinese Government shuts the fsctory down !! Buy it now - whether you buy the Asian or the ETA version, it is one of the best value reps around. I bought the ETA version from Jos Nana - it has become my daily wear-to-work watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectionist Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 What does the back of a genuine SMP GMT look like ? Can't find pics of it anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Very, very nice. The presentation box is a nice touch. I am curious about the pricing also. I've talked to Sean a few times about some of his watches and I've found his pricing to be somewhat high, enough so that I've never bought from him.

Guest sub4me Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 That looks great. I'm never dissappointed with a watch from Sean, hes a great dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seans prices pretty much the same as the prices on dealers websites...I can say this though...Sean has never sent me a defective watch, all the watches that i recieved from him have been top notch on quality and in perfect working order. He is also top notch before, during, and after the sale, so for me he has been awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
