...  thanks so much to all our dear friends for their participation with their wonderful shots and watches!

As it always happens with our weekly contest, so many awesome shots make difficult to chose just one winner.

I choose three winning shots, which I felt equally deserved a first place and finally gave them the required order of first, second and third places.

And here are the results:

Third Place for Alkiro´s shot of his Breguet La Tradition against the Jet d´Eau Geneve´s landmark.
You may think I´m biased on this one as I have told before my admiration for this watch, but I promise I tried my best to be as objective as possible.
The inclusion of an interesting background to a traditional wrist shot adds to the beauty of a photograph I had always thought.






Second place for the stunning shots of Henrik/Shortys home of his no less stunning Blue dialed Breguet Type XX.
Though these shots lack of a background the special total B&W picture with only the Blue color of dial showing make for the striking effect we receive when viewing these photographs. Well done Henrik!!







First Place goes for NafetS shot of his stunning Groenfeld timepiece with that beautiful red Rose on background, matching the central color of watch´s dial and with straps stitching.
 I felt this is a classic wrist shot with a striking touch of color matching with a background detail making for an awesome photograph.







Congrats to winners and to all participants and I wish all our friends here a wonderful week!

Cheers! Abel

Congratulations to all winners, especially nafetS who won two of the three awards.
