None at all.

But, one of the guys that I was with (prof' p'grapher) said that if you try to get a tripod out anywhere near the Eye you'll get "moved on" by security. I did double dare him but he got talked out of it

 

[Toonie]

No decent photographs but here's my old workhorse.

I reckon it's an IWC, maybe a IWC Spitfire?

IWC Pilots mk 11...... In my dreams! This is a Timefactors Speedbird 1. Loosely based on the MOD Mk 11 Pilots Watch specification, but updated with modern mechanics, water proofing, sapphire etc. No longer available, but if you like, check out the Timefactors website, Eddie does have a beautiful Speedbird III

Here's mine then...



...Damn, I don't wear one.

 

[mrtoad]

brilliant timed shots...once that was the way to check your 1 sec exposure on a 35mm camera..
didnt matter where the second hand was so long as the distance was 1 second etc
another way was to photo lines on a 625 analogue tv screen
625 a second...then you could check stuff under a second

 

[Cynergy]

A couple more . .

 

[Lunaticsamurai]

Need to dig out my old pocket watch, too...

 

[jm2]

Seiko 5 Superior.

 

[Lostgear]

And another

 

[bobman]

And another

Really like this idea, makes the watch look gigantic in scale.

 

[Hazza]

seiko chrono by tonky8203, on Flickr

I like it as it's pretty trouble free - no battery issues being kinetic. My favourite though is another Seiko chrono - over 18 years old, never been serviced and is accurate to within 30 seconds a year. It's a PITA when it needs a battery, but I still love the thing- nine moving hands in total.

 

[crieffy]

There's some very nice looking watches in this thread

I thought I'd have to give some of these longer exposure shots a try..
