I found that the car studio is the best place to start getting used to taking photos of watches. The lighting in the day can be manipulated easily by just moving your arm position in the car. I also take a few different shots. For every one I post, there are at least five others I delete.

Fear not, I am sure I will soon have a couple of hundred photos of it 馃榾 Rob has also asked me to send daily photos so he can feed his BLACK BAY obsession 馃憤

I have noticed however that the 58 is a tough one to photograph. I look at my wrist and see this amazingly sexy thing. Then I look at the photo and it looks dull. Not the most photogenic watch combined with me lacking some true photography skills 馃榿
Looking forward to the pics!

A black dial can be a lot more tricky to photograph compared to silver. Black shows every spec of dust and it's so easy to catch things in the reflection (e.g. phone, fingers, etc.) that you don't want to see on the dial/crystal. But I'm sure you'll eventually get the hang of it.馃槈

Oh yes, I totally asked him to do that.

Well I think I know what it might be, but it's not available for quite a while yet so we'll have to see....

That鈥檚 lovely. 36mm? Same case as that new microrotor? I was interested in that salmon but sold out instantly.

38mm. 3 years old now, so I expect the case is different. I assume this was Baltic's first watch, although I haven't looked into it, (but model number 001 makes sense) 馃榾

Been on the Wait List for 6 Months with no sign of getting this piece. So imagine my excitement when I found a BNIB being sold.
So happy.

Congrats, great piece. Could potentially be interested in adding the white panda version one day. I have also considered picking up one of the blue heritage chronos - they're insane value for money, but I suspect a tad too big for me.

Hi all, after a bit of an absence I am back, it hasn't been a great few months but things are coming together.

I would like some info and advice on this piece, a buddy of mine is selling it, it is in great condition box and papers and a good price, I think (around USD1000)

Do you know for sure if it's genuine, cos there are fakes of these and that logo looks a little scrappy... maybe.

Yes, finally a TAG Heuer! What do you want to know?
Haha yeah! Well that new Aquaracer NightDiver is right up on my list too, hopefully they are available this side for me to have a look!
I do like this version, to be honest I didn't even know it existed. I have the newer Gulf F1 so this would make a nice addition. Was this piece limited at all? And the price point, I havent seen any others online so not sure on price point.

Interesting I also noticed that, I do know the guy well and he has quite a collection of Tag's but I will find out some history on the piece, thanks for the heads up!

Thanks Charlie...I was tossing up the Black or White. Opted for the Black as it has Better legibility and the hands don't fade into the White Dial.
I was very close to picking up a 58 like Jim has because the wait was killing me. Luckily I got what I really wanted.

Thanks Jim.
Yep it feels good on the wrist. The pic was before I sized it up. I took 2 links out and a micro adjust.

Congratulations @Anthony.R great chronograph!
It's a big improvement over the heritage chronograph. I love the colours of that one but it's so damn thick.

Thank you Buddy.
I'm looking forward to spending a bit of time with this one on the wrist for sure.
