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 when I composed or took this picture?" Know what I mean?
Like stacking a Disco Burger over an MIH on a Waterford glass with some dregs of cognac next to an IWC Perpetual wrapped around bottle of said Cognac (was I thinking an ad for AA? or was I at a GTG?)
I thought of this when I was searching for bracelet images this morning (home sick with a cold, so have to do something while keeping dry, safe & warm).
NOTE TO SELF & OTHERS: Do not allow your cat to chew on a Smart watch. Tiger bit through the strap and buckle.
So, AM I THE ONLY ONE? Or do you have some outtakes in your cutting room drawer?

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.

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.
