    Default Vintage & Retro Watches Issue

    This is page 1 of an opening spread for a vintage watches editorial.Note- this is a 'draft'

    This is Page3- 'Oldies'. I'm still meditating on the titles so it's just a temporary one- this is a 'draft'

    I was looking at an auction room catalogue the other day and I saw a watch which was virtually identical to that one. It was a 1960s Universal Geneve. It was the styling and the black/silver combination that really grabbed my attention. Can't remember the name of the auction room, but it was over here in the UK.

    Bingo. I was hoping for something a little better quality because it looks really cool in your picture. Thanks for the link though!

    actually, i just tracked down the likely 'model' for the Chromatica in my research archive today. looks like a copy of a Bucherer, but you know, if i've learned anything in the past 3 months, i've learned that ALL the watch makers copy each other and borrow cues like crazy, so it's hard to know who designed what first, unless you check the patents.

    Default Before & After

    Elsewhere on WTF, there was a thread on flipping watches for profit.
    I responded that photography quality is the #1 criterion, full description is #2
    Obviously, once i'm done shooing I resell to dispose of my 'props' and subjects. So...
    Here's one of many Before & Afters.
    You can buy them on the swamp... 9PAST10 before they are gone :)
