·@Aquagraph Awesome idea! Is it made like a canvass painting/frame?

·Yeah, it was from mypicture.com, that one is about 1M long and 400mm high or something like that. It was before I had my Carrera Heuer 01 and I wasn't sure I was going to buy it or not.. so I decided to go for this because it's a watch but it looks more arty and with no case you don't have to worry about getting it all in shot.
I also got one made for my friend, he has the Tudor Pelagos LHD and I found a photo of a lumeshot and had that made into a canvas for his birthday. He was chuffed!

I need to start searching for pictures suitable for printing
creating a new home office and I need some suitable paintings 😎 been looking for Breitling paintings but hard to find anything good. I like some of Mayfair Edition's pantings https://mayfaireditions.com/products/rolex-submariner-goldust-two-tone-rlx01?variant=29590385869 but no TH and no good Breitling paintings. Prices a bit too high aswell....

·Looks great, not too expensive either... the watch world seems to be an area where people seem to think they can take the micky generally. You know when you see a book reviewed it's often £400 or something absolutely ridiculous, so it's nice to see someone doing something sensible.
It's a shame there's no TAGs, but not surprising, they've obviously gone for the three most talked about watches on youtube which makes sound business sense. But personally I don't get why people are so excitable when it comes to the Seiko SKX.
Ideally, the best TAG they could choose would be.... the Aqauagraph, but since most people have never heard of it, it's rather unlikely.

I thought.... £35, that's good, until I realised it was 11" x 7". Framed paintings/prints would be nicer for sure, but for the budget conscious canvas is the way to go. And, if you get bored and want a change you're only talking £30-40.

As an owner of one (actually two, but I sold the modded one), allow me to shed a light around the SKX, particularly the SKX007.
To start with, it really has a unique shape, and the size is just right, even for small wrist.
It goes well on a bracelet, NATO, leather, and most certainly a rubber strap.
It's 200M water resistant, robust automatic movement, with day-date function.
Highly customizable; there's a plethora of aftermarket ceramic bezels, sapphire crystals, hands and what have you.
You can even upgrade the movement from the Seiko offering.
All this, starting in the 250-300$ range. That's a lot of value for money, for a watch you can use on vacation, or when doing things not safe for your timepieces.

Yeah, I get all that, I think I'm just sick of people on youtube banging on about it endlessly... every single watch channel always has a Seiko SKX review, I guess it's partly because they are cheap and accessible. I guess I'm just one of those people who never wants what everyone else wants.. I have no desire for a Submariner, a Speedmaster (well the white Snoopy was cool) or an SKX

Yup. The sub does nothing for me at all, and they are so ubiquitous. I could take a black bay bronze however.
The Aquagraph lume shot is cool btw. Maybe this calls for a seperate lume thread...

Rolex in general does not excite me. They may be well made and all but meh. When I saw the photo of the black/gold Yachtmaster I thought I'd finally found a Rolex I could love, but when I actually saw it I was so unimpressed.

Im with you there, particularly with Subs and GMT Masters, although I love the latest Explorer. It is beautifully made and wears very well, but I could buy a heuer-01 and an aquaracer and still have change from the price of the explorer.

Actually the explorer is quite nice, but like you say, the cost is just too much for what you're getting. Especially when you can get the white dial Aquaracer lookalike for about a third of the price!
