Was a tough choice between the IWC Portuguese Chronograph, JLC Master Control Moon Phase and the standard Navitimer 01.

But when I found a new one of these (possibly one of the last unsold ones around?) I just had to pounce.

Had to rush some shots through today when the watch arrived, will set up a bit better on my next free weekend!

Eyeing on a Panerai Radiomir next! But that's going to have to wait a long while.

Beautiful timepiece! And your quick pics look better than the photos I try to take where I spend hours working on the light source!

Beautiful watch. The first of many that you'll own. :lol:

Superb pics. I like the blue on blue denim.

Oh! welcome to the fold.

Second round of shooting this watch, I've learnt a lot from my first go before. Clean the watch properly before shooting! Set the time to 10:10 and try more interesting compositions and environments.
