Samie L. Smithwhat am i doing wrong multicolr
I just bought myself a new toy a 16 size box hinge multicolor watch and a new 19 inche flat panel monitor ,,for some reason i can not get the detail and color to come out right with the new monitor can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong, is there some adjustmets i can make to improve the color etc..
This decorations on this case are sharp like the day it was made,,it looks as if there is only 3 colors but it is 4 colors on one side and five on the other.

Dave FreemanSamie,
what a fantastic watch. Did you win the lottery ?

The colors on my screen look excellent.
On your monitor, if you go to my computer\display\ settings and check the color range settings. Pick the highest setting you see. On my flat panel monitor ( a five year old Dell) the highest color setting is 32Bit. Hope this helps.
Regards

Samie L. SmithDave no lottery but the wife may shoot me
another picture but i still can,t show the real beauty of this watch.all the decoration the stag ,flowers etc. are raised decorations.
has a grade 625 17 jewel waltham movement thinking about putting a 23 jewel vanguard movement in the case..

Peter S. BalkanI have a lot of trouble photographing my own multi-color, Sammy. I think the reflective surfaces play havoc with the auto-focus and white-balance.
Did you get that one on eBay from Mal Varner?

Cort MooreI feel like the look on the face of the buck on your case-caught in the headlights! Dazzling find Samie! Congrats!
-Cort
p.s.-I suspect these are rarer in 16S. I doubt it ever would have had a 23J Vanguard in it.

Dave FreemanSamie,
I took the liberty of slightly enhancing one of your images to see if looks any different, I hope you don't mind

. You can be the judge.
