Decided to grab my "real" camera today and shoot some of my beefier watches

It's been a minute since I've used my Sony full frame camera, so I decided to snap a few pics of my latest rotation involving some of my diver style watches (after experimenting with some straps). Nothing crazy, didn't use a macro lens or anything, just tried to get close and compose some stills.

I've really been vibing with my bigger case size portion of my watches lately and these have been my top choices as of late. They include:

  • Panerai Luminor PAM 177

  • Breitling Chrono Avenger Ti

  • Grand Seiko Diver SBGA229

Anyways, hope you enjoy! By the way, not trying to snob on smartphone cameras at all, it's still by far my most preferred way to take pics of my watches. Remember the line: "The best camera happens to be...."

Some damn good shots here!! I currently own a SuperOcean Steelfish now and have been really lusting after both Panerai and Grand Seiko lately! What’s your favorite wear of the trip currently? Beautiful looking pieces!

Honestly it's been the Grand Seiko...probably because i'm still honeymooning with it as it was my most recent purchase a few weeks ago. It's such a well built watch in almost every way. True definition of pictures do not do it any justice as well.

The Panerai is a close second because...well it's a fricking Panerai lol. It just has such an amazing presence and unique design. I like that mine is titanium as well as don't like the shinier/polished Panerai models as much because size combined with bling is something i shy away from.

Some solid points. A Titanium PAM, either the 111 or the 177 is what I’m eyeing now. I love so many grand Seikos, but can’t decide the model for me yet. Love the evo 9 case and their divers too, but have also been intrigued with the LX series… so many choices!! I appreciate your input!
