Lume Pic - GMT II next to Sub-C

Here is my Pepsi GMT II next to my Sub-C. There is a little more dust on the Sub-C than I would like, but I still like the shot. Thanks for looking .

Wow. What a shot! What is that ring around the center? How does your camera make it do that?

The rings are the second hands. I left the camera shutter open for 60 seconds so the second hands made a full revolution during the pic.

Very cool! I should learn to do this! You can't do this on a Fujifilm Digital Camera can you?

Very nice shot, Wade, thanks for sharing!

Where is the dot of the GMT II bezel? And it seems that the cyclops on the two watches are different?

Thanks again

Tom

GMT does not have a lume dot on the bezel, just a little triangle.

Killer photo!!!

As Eric said, the GMT II doesn't have any lume on the bezel. I am not sure why the cyclops on the watches are a little different. I purchased the Sub-C from an AD and the GMT II from DAVIDSW so I am sure they are authentic. It could be because the watch faces weren't exactly on the same plane. That's why the Sub-C's face is a little out of focus.
