Neglected.

Well my LV has felt a bit neglected as of late as I have been wearing my new TT Blue Sub ad nauseum.

Put my LV on today for the first time in weeks and..........

IT FELT GOOD!

I'm afraid that I've never assigned a sexual designation to any of my watches. I guess if I did, they would all have to be male. Seems weird, though!

Yes, indeed. Excellent rotational plan, Tom! That Air-King is a beautiful watch, and you've already learned your lesson with LV...

Hey Tim,

I'm only trying to help here (so please don't think I'm being rude or something), but why are all your pics so blurry and out of focus?

If you're using MACRO mode, you probably need either a TRIPOD or need to place the camera on some solid object to hold it ROCK STEADY. Try it....so your pics are completely in focus and all the inscriptions on the dial can be clearly read.

Also, place the SELECTOR on your camera in AUTO mode. Take it off MANUAL if you have selected that mode.

Also, resize them down to around 900 x 900 mps.

Good luck - JJ

I've tried all that you have recommended short of buying a tripod. Here's my most recent effort.

Still getting glare even with only natural light from the window. No flash.

Looking at the LV, do not see how it could feel anything but good.

Keep on trying, Tim....and you'll get there eventually. Remember that Rolex do not use Anti-reflective coating on their crystals....so that makes a lot of light bounce off the crystals.

If you have the window behind you with light streaming in from the back, a lot of that light will fall on the crystals and bounce off. Draw the curtains if you have to and still have some natural light coming into the room.

You will have to try different angles and lighting situations till you get it right.

Good luck - JJ
