I had to resist the urge to post pure Urushi shots - it both challenging & wonderful to photograph, I've added some other options as trying to refrain from the obvious. Cheers JML ...

Oops!
By: Gregineugene : September 15th, 2023-16:57
I thought the Croton with beer was static but I see I was wrong. I think I can still edit but if not thats the one to delete. I'll re-do it now
Thanks.
By: Gregineugene : September 15th, 2023-20:24
Hopefully it wasn't the one the judges would have liked the best...
Many thank HS.

The. DB has a lot of depth to the dial which adds to the shot for sure.

Cool shots of your watch and strap combos. I love the shot of your Minerva π

and it isnβt the watch. An old photo as we no longer have Nova due to bone cancer but she was a sweetheart (and watch liver of course). Cheers, Jonathan ...

Thanks for 'getting it', pplater. Most have, thankfully, . . .
By: Dr No : September 16th, 2023-21:18
. . . and frankly, the limit is at least as much for Casey's benefit as for leveling the playing field. It's quite a task he's taken on, judging both categories. Art PS - played snooker last night for the first time since '69, and yes, Bob is making a cue...
If history is anything to go by...
By: pplater : September 17th, 2023-05:20
...Bob will nail it! Enjoy the wait - and your re-immersion into the gentleman's ball-game. Cheers, pplater.
Bob trimmed a purpleheart shaft down to 11 mm at the tip . . .
By: Dr No : September 18th, 2023-18:41
. . . and will aim for the same diameter in maple. Pool cue shafts are typically 12.75 mm +/- .25 mm, snooker cues are between 9 and 10.5 mm. The reason he can't go any narrower than 11 mm is the ferrule materials he has on hand to work with aren't up to ...
Two of your wrist shots have to be surrendered, Watchonthewrists . . .
By: Dr No : September 16th, 2023-21:23
. . . but the good news is that you can submit another static. Please let me know which two should be removed, and post another static (assuming that's your desire) as a reply to this post. I'll edit your entry to include an extra static. Thanks, Art
The limit is two static and two wrist shots . . .
By: Dr No : September 17th, 2023-02:41
. . . but there can be any number of watches per photo, N. Feel free to submit one more static and two wrist shots. Getting more than one wrist in a wrist shot is difficult, but that's another matter altogether.
Hello dear Art! Thank you so much for hosting this weekend.

A nice theme and let me play with four of my personal favorite shots to answer it: Two statics: That day I was wearing my Kermit Sub and watched one of my grandchildren playing in our backyard with this charming frog toy and I imagined it falling in love ...
Excellent shots Abel β¦
By: Cpt Scarlet : September 17th, 2023-16:38
Difficult to choose between them. I always smile when I see the Kermit Sub shot, absolutely charming. Your Doxa splash wrist shot is a βfeel goodβ photo. Best regards Captain
Okβ¦ hereβs what Iβm going with.
By: RabidManatee : September 16th, 2023-15:05
Wrist shot #1 (I like the water droplet cyclops). Wrist shot #2 (I just like the watch, strap and beat up jeans together). Donβt have a lot of static shots but I like this combo. Cheers all! ...
Thanks! :-)
