Hi guys. Well my avenger arrived from Bernard watch yesterday and today I have had time to take a few photo's of it. The watch was sold originally in 2009 but to be honest I think it has been a safe queen, it even had some protective stickers still in place!

Very very happy with it, I have wanted to get a High End Quartz watch again since selling my double eagle to fund a vintage Cartier and I just loved the specs of the B73 and the look of the Avenger then I saw this one for sale and they agreed to do a straight trade with my other Cartier which I purchased from them last year. Excellent folks to deal with at Bernard watch and I would not hesitate in purchasing from them again or recommending them (usual disclaimer I have nothing to do with them other than happy customer!)

So, on to the pictures. When doing research on this watch I realized there did not seem to be many on the forums due to the lack of pictures. I can only put this down to it being quartz but I really wish that would not put people off as it is an exceptional quartz movement!

Nice pictures.

How do you take photos like that without it blurring? What kind of camera?

Thanks for your kind comments guys, NR. I use a Leica DLux5 on macro setting and fully automatic. Also image stabilization is set to on. Also I try to rest the camera on the table whilst shooting for better stability and make sure I have good natural light coming through the window which helps as well.
