Icon3 My two hobbies

It just occurred to me today, that my two favorite things (watches and flashlights) are very nicely color matched, so I took a few photos.
I'm no photographer so go easy on me please.

Nice shots - did you boil the oil in the movement?

Those SuperLEDs get mighty hot!

Quite a flashlight! The watch is a beauty too, needless to mention...

So now my curiosity is peaked...What does one who collects flashlights look for in a flashlight? Also, I have a Surefire that I carry with me. It seems to be well made but I don't know much about flashlights. If it was a watch, what brand would it be?

Great pics by the way. Enjoy the watch!

Nice pictures and flashlights as a hobbie, It's something I've never heard of but whatever makes you happy. We all love a good flashlight when the need strikes us.
I am wondering what brand or model would be the Rolex of the flashlight world because if I ever decide to buy a new flashlight I will check it out. I just hope it doesn't cost $8k

No worries, they don't get that hot after few seconds and as you can see, they have lots of cooling fins. At worst these lamps just get uncomfortably worm in my hands.

Surefire is very good brand, those flashlights are very well made and durable.

I prefer Fenix for myself, it's cheaper and I won't go into combat zone with it. :)
