More pictures and info below ⬇️It’s the perfect watch for Whimsical Wednesday!
The first photo below was snapped earlier today under an overcast sky, a testament to my fondness for photographing watches in varying light conditions. While some watches have more dynamic responses to light, the "Sprite" consistently stands out, impressively capturing the mood each time. #rolex #honeymoon #126720vtnr #sprite #destrowatch #toolwatch #luxurywatches #luxurytoolwatch
The bezel's interaction with light is fascinating; it shifts from a lively, vibrant green to a more subdued hue depending on the lighting.
Even between these two photos, taken just over an hour apart, you can notice the change. It's remarkable how the light alters the watch's appearance.
I find myself continuously drawn to this timepiece; its charm is simply inexhaustible. Every glance reveals a new detail or nuance that deepens my appreciation. It's a testament to Rolex’s exceptional craftsmanship at an industrial scale that captivates time and again.
The Jubilee bracelet is in a league of its own, offering unparalleled elegance and comfort. Its design is a flawless blend of form and function, solidifying its status as a paragon of world-class watchmaking.
Let's cap off this showcase with a duo of captivating lume shots. The first one below is particularly striking, its clarity enhanced by the lume's lingering brightness from the outdoor photo session. These images capture the luminescence at its most brilliant, a dazzling display of the watch's functionality and aesthetic appeal.
With Rolex's Chromalight illuminating the dial, readability in low-light conditions is assured. The innovative luminescence ensures that timekeeping is never compromised, even in the dimmest settings.

Yes indeed, Watchcrunch app make me shoot the watch too. I used to starred at them, and watch the gliding second hand.

Thank you! The WatchCrunch community has really inspired me to delve into watch photography. Watching the second hand glide seamlessly is almost meditative. It's moments like these that underscore the joy of collecting. I just wish we could post HD videos on WC to truly capture and share the essence of these movements.
I still see gold in there!

A cold turkey gold detox? Perish the thought! I'm on a strictly regulated gold-titration program, gently weaning off the carats. Full detox is pending approval from my horologist! 😄

Nice lume shot Paul. It's still bizarre looking at the date window on the left side of the watch. That said, it's probably a characteristic that draws you in every time you take a peek at the dial.
I’m currently trying to decide whether to upgrade my iPhone to one of the models with a better camera or simply buy a nice camera. I haven’t done any real photography since High School yearbook. I was driving a few miles from my house today and saw a new business advertising photography classes. I may have to stop by and see what they’re offering.

Thank you for the kind words on the lume shot! The left-sided date window certainly is distinctive—it's exactly this kind of quirk that endears the watch to me even more. Each look reinforces my fondness for its unconventional design. And you've hit the nail on the head: its uniqueness is what keeps it so frequently on my wrist, a delightful deviation from the norm.
I just love looking through all your pictures of this beauty. Its such an amazing watch and you do a fantastic job highlighting its magnificence. Truth be told, I am waiting for "the call" myself on this one and can't wait for the day we can be twins!

Certainly, it's a challenging decision. The iPhone 15 Pro Max offers remarkable camera capabilities that suit most daily photography needs, and it's incredibly handy not to carry a heavy DSLR, various lenses & lighting equipment. I fondly recall the photography classes from my high school days, where I developed a deep appreciation for the craft. Though we've moved on from developing film in dark rooms to digital editing, the essence of capturing the perfect image remains the same. Checking out those photography classes could offer a modern twist to the craft, enhancing your skills and guiding your choice between the convenience of a phone or the advanced capability of a DSLR.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I take great pleasure in capturing the essence of this exceptional watch and sharing it with others. I'm eagerly anticipating the day you get "the call"—it'll be fantastic to be watch twins. It's too bad we can’t share HD video on the platform; it would be another great way to showcase its splendor. Here's to hoping that day comes sooner rather than later!

Besides the watch photography, I’d also like to do a little outdoor/wildlife photography. I hike 2.5-3.5 miles a day, mostly wooded trails and see a lot of wildlife. A camera for that would need to be the iPhone or something simple. I’m always dealing with the dog on a lead and often a weighted ruck. Wrestling a DSLR with all of that might get tiresome.

Certainly, the iPhone 15 Pro Max or a Samsung with their impressive zoom capabilities could suffice for most photography needs. Although I'm firmly in the Apple camp and haven't personally used Samsung devices, I've heard their optics are quite competitive. My preference leans towards the natural color representation of iPhone cameras, which seem less prone to the oversaturation that sometimes characterizes photos from Samsung models.

Any idea how good the zoom and macro are on the new IPhones? My current phone is the smaller 13 and it lacks any macro capability and very little zoom.

Macro shot with iPhone 15 Pro Max.
And my IPhone 15 Pro Max has a 5x optical zoom. This is the only photo I have of nature using the 120mm 5x optical zoom.

Both beautiful shots. If the phone comes with a photographer, I’ve got it made!😂
Gorgeous, Paul 👏🏻 love the green GMT Master 💚

Thanks so much, Nir! This GMT-Master II really stands out with its vibrant green and black bezel. It’s always a pleasure to share this beauty with a fellow enthusiast. Cheers, my friend!
I want one so bad. But don’t even want to attempt to get one from a Rolex store.
