Quite right, the Sydney Harbour Bridge
Also known as The Coathanger because of its arch design. It was completed in 1932 and was, at the time, the largest (and tallest) spanning arch bridge in the world. Along with the Opera House it is a focal point of Sydney harbour in Australia.

Monumental landmarks
or Where's Wally Now? The idea behind this thread is to see your watches against recognizable landmarks. Lets see how much of the world we can cover! Heres an easy one to start you off. Where am I?...
Sydney?
This is going to be a great thread. Unfortunately I have not got any wrist shots with monumental landmarks yet. Would definitely take more of them in the future.

You're NOT in Roma.
Fantastic city I would like to visit PS : if you are in Arles, I'll hide myself.

I'll eat my hat. (Let's pretend I have a hat!) This could be fun....I'll try to contribute over the next few days. Got a trip to a new city (for me) next week... Oh and that first one...that bridge...those palm trees...the stunning environs...must be Newc...
Well, Andrew .. Can be a nifty task .. I'll convey 3 pics; after each it should get easier
.. so here is the little 3-step riddle : - although I'm pretty convinced , at the 3rd everyone will know... Alas: here we go .. 1st: A very famous fountain .. You'll always come back , if you through in some pennies 2nd: The face of a Pagan god.. With...
Actually I am a little nervous now ...
Thanks Mike, Actually I'm a little nervous now. I thought the photos would come flooding in - but perhaps there are only a couple of us watch loonies that take photos of their watches in front of the world's important landmarks. I don't need that degree o...
Hello !
Great theme. I believe this could turn out to become a MEGATHREAD ! Greetings from Shanghai ! Dean ...
The Patio
Fernando, Was that shot taken from 'The Patio' on the 4th floor of Harbour City, by any chance? Esharp
Awww c'mon, that's too easy!...
Awww c'mon, that's too easy! Rue Soufflot just outside Le Comptoir du Pantheon, Paris. I'm waiting for the shots from Machu Picchu... :-)
A couple for the mix...
The wrist in the second shot belongs to a noted Purist - any guesses? (Andrew, you were there so you're disqualified!). For full marks - how many bridges in the second shot? :-) Cheers, pplater. ...
No idea the wrist, but I spy three bridges!
Great pic that second one. Very good! Cheers, Tim
Difficult to see the dial...
Are there two different bridges depicted on that Corum Golden Bridge??? If so, then I get to four bridges. I believe this photo is taken from the Opera House? At least that makes sense from what I can determine from google maps;) Cheers, Tim
Second time lucky!...
As you say, the fourth bridge is the 'Golden Bridge'. The wrist, by the way, is Thomas M's. Cheers, pplater.
Curious what bridges those are on the dial???
Inquiring minds want to know...pplater, can you shed some light on this. Cheers, Tim
Some sort of job interview?
Which lasted all afternoon and all night I recall. Crawled into bed after sunrise. Memorable evening with plenty of bridges! Andrew ...

Hmm.. Not too tough, I hope.. My guess is : The Planisphere (globe)..

Hello Andrew! Nice thread! My contributions come from not very...
... exotic nor little known places, but anyway places very dear to me, and some 12.000 kilometers far from my own home. I have good friends and relatives there, and enjoy so much every time I get the occasion to travel there. Nobody will have any problem ...
