Hey all,

I made a few attempts at a lume shot of my AS. This is the one that came out the best. Check out the sweep of the second hand! I still need alot of work in the photo taking dept. so I guess this is good practice. Hope to have a better representation in the near future. Regards, Devin

...and another depth photo. I love the watch from this type of angle!

Hey, thanks.

Setup was...charged the watch about six inches under lamp, propped it vertical postition, set camera at 400 ISO at about 50mm...8" from watch and elevated it a bit. f-0.00???? Shutter release was about 15-18 seconds. NOT a pitch black room. Again, I am just learning so I hope this helps a little. Thanks guys, enjoy! :lingsrock:

Thanks, I did pick up a little one for the desk top. The camera I picked up has an anti movement feature. It seems to help. It is a Sony digital with the Carl Zeiss 10x zoom. I was useing a canon power shot. The quality has already improved. Any tips are aprecieated!

Another great shot Metal. The more you post the more eager I become to get that phone call saying mine is in.

Great photo! I actually couldn't believe it when I saw the title of your thread. I was going to ask you that very thing, to please post a pic of the luminosity (spelling?).
I am really quite impressed. Even more reason to look at the one at my AD on the weekend. They have one in there with a black dial and Diver Pro strap. For me, I would have to go with the Stainless Steel. I have always had black dial, but this one might be an exception if I go for it at all. I did get an OR strap for my Steelfish, which really looks great, but after a couple of months I had the PRO II put back on, and I have to say I really like it the best.
Funny, I just can't get enough of discussing this Seawolf.
There was a comment in your other posting, about someone wishing the Seawolf had a 24mm lug width instead of 22mm. Normally, I would agree. However, the first new version Seawolf that I saw did have the steel bracelet. I have to say the size is so well suited to it, that I had to look at the Breitling website under Technical Data for the Seawolf to make sure it was not in fact 24mm. It definitely is a hefty piece!
Cheers,
Carl

You guys are ALL great! Mikey H, I can't wait for you to get that call!!! I am new to the Breitling family, but I can asure you, you will fall head over heals for your AS!!! It is such a beautiful piece of machinery (if I may call it that)...I love the weight of it on my wrist and how it demands attention. Simple yet such a beautiful dial. I have never posted this...but I was VERY close to purchasing what I thought was my dream Breitling...a blue dial pre-baton SA on a blue OR deployment. The price difference was NOT an issue. But when I saw and tried on this AS I HAD to have it. Did I think of the SA??? Of course...Did I fall in love with the AS??? You all know the answer to that. Carl and the rest...thank you guys again. I'm still pondering the RED or BLACK OR deployment strap. May be too early to swap out. Regards!

Just to avoid future confusion: "AS" is what we usually call the Avenger Skyland here... just so you know... ;)

Great shots!
