Haha! Cheers guyz.

Don't worry the watch was never in danger! :D Its a dimplex optimist effect fire so it's just a bit of smoke!

Had a Sunday with no work and no hangover for a change so thought I would spend some time with the camera, as I have never had a chance to really sit down and give it a real go since I bought it earlier in the year!

More to come!

Cheers

Andrew

Crazy Brits!!!
From http://www.dimplex.co.uk/products/fires ... timyst.htm

"Opti-myst is a revolution in electric fire technology.
Using unique state-of-the-art technology, we have created the most realistic flame and smoke effect ever seen in an electric fire – an illusion so effective that we believe it is difficult to distinguish it from the real thing.

The fully 3-dimensional effect uses established ultrasonic technology adapted from commercial applications to create an ultra fine water mist that is illuminated to create the ‘flames’ and the ‘smoke’. This, combined with the Optiglo® glowing logs and shimmering ashbed, produces an effect that surpasses all expectations for realism in an electric fire. "

Aww Omega, you've ruined all my fun! I thought you guyz really thought that watch was in a real log fir!! :lol:

When you live where I do then there's nothing better than coming home on a dark winters night and sitting in front of an open peat fire! Unfortunately the house I'm in at the moment has no chimney so thats what I make do with and as I am lucky enough to own my own business I can have 1 cost price plus the VAT! :D

Wish I owned a Breitling shop! :shock: :lingsrock:

Cheers

My house, being only 8 years old, doesn't have a chimney so if you want a "feature" fireplace it's electric or nothing and as I'm not a fan of electric fires I've stuck to radiators. However, that looks superb! I'm going to check one out in person and if it looks half as good at on that link I'll be buying one! :thumbsup: Price don't seem too bad either. Love it! :D

Driver - You get two sizes, the Cadogen is the bigger one that I have with the glass sides. I can't remember the name of the smaller one but they look good too, very effective, the sides aren't see-through but that doesn't take away the effect IMO!

Cheers
