Fantastic and funny thread dear Mike! Guess everyone involved with…
… making some efforts to photograph our watches could contribute to this thread.
In my personal case I’m not shy to share my many faux pas but thing is I delete hundred of shots every month from my phone to reduce their weight in its memory… and to erase any evidence of my watch shooting “bad steps”. Lol!!
Anyway I found a few examples shot while playing with my grand children toys and my watches…
Or while trying to take some scary shots for our WS Halloween event:
Results were more hilarious than scary! Ha ha ha!
Last but not least a failure to show my Tudor BB with food at a Parisian bistro.
The watch barely appears in this shot…
My watch suffered an accident during the shooting: the deployant failed and watch fell to the tiled floor. Ouch!!
Fortunately the watch kept working perfectly and the only damage was a small dent in the interior of one lug.
Best cordial regards

Outtakes & the Cutting Room Floor
I'd like to propose a thread of watch photos we have taken which have never been posted. Please, I don't mean over-exposure, out of focus or tedious, but specifically, images that when you look at the final object you think, "What the heck was I thinking ...
Good idea for a thread. Wish...
I could contribute. What is that primitive media fir storing images?
Bad idea badly executed
Hi I think most of my disasters have now been deleted - as you say you look at it & go why?! However this one escaped deletion It's a bit grim & just generally a bit horrible, I still don't understand why I'm letting it waste space I'm sure I've deleted w...
St George & the Dragon
And a tiny brass icon too. Not sure how they fit with beer and the GO? Thanks for entertaining us. I’m hoping for more, or is the crowd too shy? Mike
The travel icon is Russian.
When I used to travel to Budapest there was a shop in the Intercontinental hotel that specialised in Russian icons. The St. George is from a valley in the Dolomites famous for hand carved figures. And you're right, there is absolutely no connection among ...
I have refrained from co-mingling watches and icons
as they inhabit different universes, much like I stopped taking pictures of my cars when they are parked in the cemetery. We have several tiny Russian brass icons like yours. And I believe I have been in that shop. ...
I can't help but think of Master P on the bottom photo.
Make em say Ahhhhh, Nah Nah Nah Nahhhh!!

Abel your response was great!
Sorry about the drop… your post made me recall a series I did with my Omegas and this stoneware mask… ...
Ha ha ha!! Ahh yes!! I understand why you remembered this shot! Lol!!
Thank you Mike. I’m glad you liked my contribution to your thread. Receive my best cordial regards! Abel
I probably have more horrible photo ideas than anyone. Which is why I rarely participate in Wrist Scans.
The only thing worse than a watch with a de-constructed gnome is one with a classical gnome. ...
The classical Gnome is from Gräfenroda.
Gräfenroda is the village where the garden gnome was born in 1872. We visited the garden gnome museum there some years ago and it is a monument to kitsch.
