G'day !

This time let's have a look to the notorious Speedy Tuesday.

It is a gorgeous watch and it gets a lot of wristime these days.

You know I love some nice close ups ;), but bear in mind it points out every microscopic defect of your watch !
Dramatic for a vintage but also for a modern watch like this one

Now some pics :

The subdials :

The serifs are pretty strong :

Funnily, we can notice some variation between the secondary subdials indexes of the three subdials:

3 h (minutes)

6.jpeg

6h (hours)

7.jpeg

17.jpeg

18.jpeg

9h (seconds)

8.jpeg

19.jpeg

Each subdial hand is slightly off-centered to the printed luminescent concentric circles of the subdials

9.jpeg

10.jpeg

Notice the little filament at 10 sec. of the 9h subdial
It is actually attached to one of the luminova concentric circle and come in contact with the subdial hans at each rotation...
It might be a printing defect of the polymeric material onto the dial

Now the hands :

The contrast of the polished old style Omega logo with the crown brushed stainless steel is beautiful :

The engraved Omega symbol on the hesalite :

Lugs and case are nicely brushed.
All this looks very sensitive to scratching

The serifs are pretty strong :
Good practice in typography. The smaller the font-size the larger the serifs relatively.
That distinguishes a cheapy windows system front an expensive professional font e.g. from Adobe ;).

Great thread, awesome pictrues!

I am slowly getting into macro photography for my watches. I am having a really hard time with lighting. Seems to never be enough, even if I play around with the ISO on the camera. Still a noobie with photography, but anyone will to share their lighting setups?
