I've been reading these posts for a while but until today I did not own a Glashutte Original. I hope I can load the pictures. Purchased from another member. I need practice photographing these or maybe a better camera.
Well, it definitely helps to have a top-notch camera . . .

. . . but lighting and experience have almost as much to do with taking photos. I just spend a tidy sum on camera equipment for the sole purpose of taking watch photos . . . there's so much to learn, and it's far more difficult to take good snaps than it seems. Check out the Photography forum moderated by Valentin B and K T for reference . . . the members that habit that forum are keen photographers, and helpful, too. Congratulations on your 1845 Classic date display . . . my next G O will definitely be a manual wind so I'm interested in your technical impressions of your new watch . . . cordially, Art This message has been edited by Dr No on 2007-08-26 15:46:24
A major reason why I selected the 1845 was the movement. I like the fact that there isn't a rotor obscuring the rest of the movement. And although my picture doesn't show it well, it is a beautiful movement. I've only had it one day now but it's running just slightly fast. I'm going to not wind it fully next time and see if that affects it's accuracy. But I'll only be wearing it a day or two at a time so it really doesn't matter if it's off 2 - 5 seconds. My everyday beater is an Oceanus Waveceptor which is automatically updated daily by the atomic clock. I tried to get a picture of both but was unsuccessful. I have just started reading posts about how to photograph watches and never realized what was involved by all you others to get those great shots. The next time I post pictures the result will be better. This message has been edited by Dr No on 2007-08-26 17:57:45
