Bought a half decent camera recently and tried my hand at taking a few shots.
So here we go..

My favourite, Breguet type XX that my father got new, being a captain for Air France through the 50s and 60s. This watch started it all.
It accompanied him so often flying DC3s or 707. This watch has tens of thousands of flying hours!















Then comes one that has monetary value, but that I find to be one of the most stylish. A very underrated watch in my opinion: the re-edition tag heuer autavia complete with orange stitching strap.










Now, one old watch, the Zenith Eternamatic in solid gold, complete with period bracelet. It is a dress watch, very fragile, and not so easy to wear:





Now the moderns, starting with the gmt2c:






and finally, the pam90, which I like very much, it has a lot of personality, a very clear dial, and inspire 'quality':









I hope that my first attempts at watch photography do not shock too many people, as I have noticed that there are some seriously talented people taking pics of their watches on this forum..

Agreed, but the photography has a way to go yet, to do the watches justice.
