I"ve heard that expression before but I'm wondering if it applies when attaching an OEM croco to my favorite "tool" watch... :? In any case, I wanted to take a shot of it today in case I decide to send it back or sell it. Presenting... The rare and elusive 764PL for my B-1/UTC. Still waiting for the almost as rare 741PL for my Evo/UTC. 8) Opinions? :wink:
Cheers,
Ron

I think theres a few people on this board that would disagree with that combination. :lol:

I on the other hand find it quite appealing.

Hmm,

I'm not sure about that combo. I want to like it, but it's not quite doing it for me yet.

A few more views of the amazing photography and it may grow on me though.

Now that combo I do like. Wasn't a big fan when you had it on your Cosmo, but it definitely suits the B-1.

Not a pig in sight as far as I'm concerned!

I'm away from home at the moment and am toying with the idea of getting my wife to send me my blue shark for my B-1 so I can have a change. Missing the combo.

Great shots as ever :thumbsup:

Hi, Mario. Well, how about a wrist shot to illustrate an "imposing presence"?... :wink:

Hi, Mario. No photoshopping at all. That really is the cover of one of my A & S magazines in the background. Only editing on that pic is cropping and color/contrast work all done with Picasa2 and Irfanview. I don't even know how to use Photoshop. Way too complicated for me. :? I got really lucky on this one with the focal clarity on the dial. It's hard to do when holding my breath to remain still as possible while the shutter counts down to trip. I was really pleased with this shot. Arguably one of my better wrist shots for sure. :D Glad you like the Brute on a Bund... :wink:
Cheers,
Ron
