I decided to go Blue today to cheer me up on a dreary grey Monday. The BC is hard to capture, but it amazes me how dramatically different the dial can be at different angles and lighting. ...  

the metal fits its boldness

I felt unexpectedly a bit forlorn this morning, but the BC did the trick and lifted my mood straight away. Then the sun came out and so it was only appropriate to take her for a walk and a view of the sea. ...  

That is to say, that I found pleasing, that I could imagine on my wrist. (Of course the Freak in any iteration catches one's eye!) Your first pic is especially beautiful. The flat nature of the blue surrounded by the gleaming gold… entrancing! (And those ... 

The second photo is an extreme example taken directly under halogen lights. In our lavatory actually! It is diifficult to capture the way that light plays with the dial but, for the majority of the time, it looks like this. It’s still not quite there - I ...  

They are only iPhone photos and I was trying to demonstrate the range of the dial from Matte to metallic. It is at it’s best in between the two when there is a lovely warmth as the light plays with the dial. Unfortunately, my phone cannot capture those su... 

Preference for white gold, but every Freak is awesome!

Nice shot of the blued hands there. A great weekend and casual watch for me. I like to run the Chronograph when I wear mine as I really like to see the big second hand movement. I’ve had mine 12 years without a hitch. Only needed one service two years ago... 

how many were made in steel with the white dial. Not totally in love with many new Freaks. Yours rocks!

Whilst I appreciated the clever design, I didn’t really like the Freak when it first came out. The passage of time and exposure to images eroded that and I grew to really like them. When you see them in the flesh, things change very much for the positive.... 

I’m sat in the sun enjoying a cold beer before dinner. The Freak comes alive in the sun and almost appears to be laughing joyously. It’s hard to capture with a phone the way that the light plays with the dial, but how Blue is it now?? ...  

I’ll certainly take that as a compliment given your quality photo’s that I’ve seen on here. I have never taken pictures of my watches before until I found this forum. At first, I wondered ‘why do they keep taking photo’s of their watches’? Then I tried it... 

images so I'm alwyas using one of my (numerous) cameras. Often I notice people watching me, scratching their heads! Those are some nice pictures of your wonderful Freak. The Blue Cruiser .... definitely a grail watch for me! Top Freak choice!

I did buy myself a decent camera last year but I haven’t used it all that much. Why? Well, whilst the technicalities of photography do make sense to me, it is not that easy in practice and my head tends to go blank in the heat of the moment. I suspect tha...
