Well, Todd, there is a lot wrong with that picture. Beside the bezel/sliderule alignment, the hands aren't positioned at 10:09, the depth of field is a bit off and the lighting leaves a lot to be desired. Ooops. Wait a minute.... I know what's really wrong with it... :wink: It is one of the first candid shots of my B-1 which I took well over three years ago when I was first getting into watch photography. I shot it on a table outside with a red basket for background and at the time I thought it was pretty nice. I've learned a lot about watch photography since then so if you want to see another pic or two of that watch, here you go... 8)
Best,
Ron

Nice pics! The whiz wheel and PRC-90 gave me flashbacks.

I do have one question. Why are the bezel #s of some Professional range models, like the B-1 and my Skyracers, in reverse order versus a dive watch? Is there a functional reason? (OK, that was 2 questions)

Just wondering.

Hi, Sharky. It's a countdown bezel. Works great for timing when you need to turn the steaks on the BBQ... :D
Best,
Ron

Beautiful shots. Always love seeing the B01 in your photos.

Can you explain the reasoning behind the time displayed on the watch? Are 10:09 and 1:53 more visually appealing or is there some other reason (like a personal touch or "calling card").
