Pictures of my watch

My wife and I enjoy the hobby of photography. My favorite subject is her, and she is a great model.
So when my insurance company wanted pictures of my watch, she got a gleam in her eye and said, "Let's take some pictures for them." Well - we didn't sent them all the pictures and you ain't seeing them all either , but here are some I can share.

You folks never cease to amaze me. Beautiful pics. Very creative. I used to have a watch like that many years ago with the Roman numerals on it. That was when I was a Greek god LOL Now I am a member of the zombies and get the time from my cell phone...

So you're a lefty (in every sense of the word)

I'm thinking that those would play even better in black & white. But (shrug) what do I know; I'm ambidextrous/ right dominate.


let's see...

I did do something similar. I didn't like it much. It does look good in B&W though.
I'm right handed. I put the watch on my right hand for logistical reasons.

Lucky you. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

You really needed to take them with your 993. Like the Rennlist guys. They know how it is done!

I also wear my watch on my right hand and people assume I am left handed. Not sure when or why I started doing that.
It's 8:44 all the time, because I hadn't wound the watch yet. I keep it in a safe deposit box and take it out and wind it now and then. I hardly ever wear it. I got out of the habit of wearing a watch when my dog ate the watch band on my favorite Gruen 5 years ago. I had a 21st century pocket watch by then (iPhone) and started relying on it. Now I find wearing a watch really annoying, though I'm getting used to a Fitbit.

Nice! Reminded me of this (George as a "hand model"):

I was going to say that she needs a younger hand model. For art's sake.
