Thank you to everyone who joined in with last week's theme, 'Rest and Relaxation'. 

The winner will be in next Tuesday's newsletter, but here are some of my favourite runners up.

This week we are following the trend of having special guests and @IanCognito has kindly agreed to set this week's theme and be judge.

Keep an eye on the comments to see what he has chosen.

As always, anyone and everyone is welcome to post their photos in line with the theme. So let's have some fun, get inspired and share some watch eye-candy. 🎉

Looking forward to seeing some cool shots this week! 👏

Oh wow, thanks for letting me pick the next theme! I'd like to choose something divisive - watches & food 😁

I like to plop my watch right on my food which somehow elicits a strong response from the #watchfam (good and bad) haha 

Image
Image

Maybe you don't want to be so adventurous and want to be food adjacent instead 

Image
Image

Sometimes I like to have the kids in the pic (sorta) 

Image

Or not touching your food at all so you can let the watch float above it

Image

How about just eating utensils?

Image
Image

Be creative and let's play with our food! 😂

Well I try: Seiko SRP777 and food grater

Not sure if I'm brave enough to dunk my watch right in there with all the sauce though 🤭

How often were you needing to wipe ketchup or sauce off your watches after shooting? 😂😂😂😂

Food shots don’t have to be dirty or dangerous. We can be civilized about it 😜

Love the ramen idea! I've done that too. 

Oh and I always manage to find a dry spot away from any sauce haha

I'm just learning how to take better pics of my watches.  This group also gives me inspiration in taking better shots. 

I keep gaining a lot from all of you!

Cheers!

That red strap looks AMAZING.

It brings a great 'pop' to the photo too 👏

Not 100% satisfied with all of them but anywho

Reading about people making food 🤓

Image

Shucking some abalones

Image

Some dark stuff going on

Image

I don't know, I liked all the blues (and showing off two stainless steel tools)

Image

And I'm trying to take pictures of menus at fancy places because I think they're interesting to look at.

Calling these old shots "watches and food" may be a stretch, but it's the closest any of my watches are ever going to get to food.

Huge unseen bonus : following each pic I drank coffee, ate chips, and inhaled cereal 🥣😁.  @Deeperblue do you recognize the mug ?

How about a video for inspiration? A Toronto restaurant offered me a tasting menu in exchange for Instagram love, so of course I brought watches 😂

Oops - I had in my head all Brits know all the royal stuff.  So a glance at the art and you may correctly guess it’s a Prince George birth mug.  I did a triathlon in Hyde Park around that time.  

Ok, nevermind!
