Favorite Watch Pic of the Year

Hello all...I thought with the close of 2014 fast approaching it might be fun to get everyone to submit their "favorite pic of the year"...ideally one you took yourself; but, could also be one you happened to really like from the thousands of great shots submitted on TRF this past year...
Here is mine...my father's Sub 6205 along with the Vietnam War Memorabillia that I found it stored with earlier this year (a total surprise and terrific discovery)...A Republic of Vietnam Service Medal and a Bronze Star.

That is beautiful. If you are ever interested in getting all your Dad's awards, the VFW will help you research and request the medals.

My favorite watch-related pic is this one from Master Jocke:



It's been my laptop wallpaper since he posted it for the first time here on TRF and I don't foresee it changing anytime soon. Please note that I'm not particularly fond of the LV as a watch but this pic is simply out of the world.

It's tough to pick one out, but I'll go with this.

My favorite photo was over on RPR....a one of a kind Daytona with a Pan Am logo on the dial....the blue bezel insert completes the picture....

Truly, a mind blowing watch!

Nice pic - would have been even better if they had waited 25 or so seconds, for the hand positioning.
