These wrist shots are not as easy as they look :)
Hi,
My second post :) These wrist shots are harder to do than I first thought. I tried a few years back and a few more today. The camera picks up all the dust on the watch, then you get reflections on the crystal, blurred images, too dark, too light..... and the list goes on. Anyways, this is my 14060 that my fiancé, now my wife, bought me in the fall of 1990. I believe we looked at a 5513, but when it came in, the AD said the models had changed and I received the updated model. She said the new crystal was more scratch resistant than the older model. This has most likely worked out for me, since in the last 28 years I have managed to hit the watch against anything and everything. The bezel has been replaced once when I managed to knock it off when I hit it against my car door. When we lived in Bermuda in the early 90's, we saw a TT blue submariner in a store window. She wants to buy me one of those for our 30th wedding anniversary, although she prefers the all gold version, but I like the blue TT. I also like the TT Sky Dweller, the SD43, GMT II,.. ahh, so many watches, but looking is half the fun :) |

Did you take the photos with a DSLR? Depth of field too small.
Try using a smartphone camera instead

The trick is take a whole bunch just turning your wrist slightly each time and then select the best ones to post.

1. Set the mode dial to Av. 2. Use the control dial to set the aperture to F8 (view on screen). This will give you the largest depth of field and get more in focus. 3. Using wide angle will also get more in focus than using telephoto. |
