Thank you so much for entrusting me with the static shot of the week

Nov 04, 2018,04:20 AM
 

There were a lot of great entries. I guess the "daily beater" theme resonates with most people.


First, a couple of runners-up:

- Art's vintage Omega Tank is a beautiful testimony to Art Deco, and I found the execution very playful.




- Bruno's Tudor BB GMT, which he apparently wears exactly like a beater should be, judging by the picture that followed this shot




But the gong had to go to Arie's Great White Patek. What a splendid shot, on his Cadillac Lincoln Mark iV.


Well done, guys!

PS: I absolutely loved Jocke's entry, but thought it belonged perhaps more in the Wrist Shot category.

... for their faithful movements. Guess this one has received very little care and may be no services and keeps time like a new watch! I need to make it check anyway as most probably needs a cleaning and oiling after so many years! Thanks again! All the b...
