Persistence will eventually pay off. I like the last couple of shots. There's some smudges or dust particles, but for the life of me, I don't know how to get rid of them either. I still like your shots though.

Keep going for it.

That watch makes a great hood mascot for that rig!

I know it's waterproof, but is it bugproof as well???

Thanks guys, but i have a long way to go , before i get aas good as some of the guys on here,

I have seen so many wonderful photos of watches on here. I envy the skill and patience these guys have. recently there was a thread of wallpapers by croco, they were awsome. I just get lucky from time to time.

croc's wallpapers have been transferred to the "Rolex Gallery" sub-forum. There are a few threads to be found there.
