Dan,
although your suggestion sounds good, I don't know if it's too practical. The reason I say this, many of our digital cameras don't have image stabilization features, particularly at close range. Therefore taking a picture with one hand, while trying to focus on the other could well result in many blurred images. Personally I'd prefer to see a nice clear image of the watch even although it may not be on the wrist.

Adam M. DubinDan, on my monitor (and on my wrist, now), it looks as green as the Barrel and Square B Engraved that I showed earlier (farther up on the same page).

Stephanie O'NeilHi everyone!
Sorry I haven't been around for a while but still think about all of you!

Today I wore my newest wristwatch!
Pink is my alltime favorite color so I had to had this beauty! Pink mother of pearl dial/with diamonds - Bulova. I'm enjoying wearing this one even if it is not vintage/antique!

Adam M. DubinThat's a nice one, Thomas.

Adam M. DubinHere is something different. This ca. early '20s Ferrero (dial restored) is quite large on the wrist (24 x 38 mm)...This is a rather obscure, but high-end, Swiss maker of the era.

Adam M. DubinAnother view. I love the crown!

I'd have preferred to have found this with the dial unrestored, but I was a relative newbie at the time I purchased it. Still it's a nice, unusual watch.

Adam M. DubinThomas, that Cushion looks like it would glow brightly....
Here is my newest Seamaster. It's a cal. 351 bumper movement, ca. 1951. It's really a two-tone dial, like the Oval or Tonneau; the patina gives a neat marbling effect to the naked eye.

Adam M. DubinJust picked this up from the watchmaker...I kind of wish it still was luminous, but I resist the urge to put a Luminova dial on it!

Adam M. DubinDave, your Wittnauer (and strap) are amazing...
