How many here with just TWO watches?

Hi guys,

Just wanted to know how many of you here have exactly TWO watches - no more, no less. NOT counting the wife's Rolex, naturally.

Here are my two babies - that's it!!

OK, if you don't count Tam's DJ and the OQ that's more hers, and we're only counting Rollies, I can do this

Hey Bruce. Great pics. That's my favorite color bezel insert on a modern GMT. They're both beautiful

I have a SS datejust with white roman dial and yesterday I picked up a tutone with diamond dial at jared here in tampa. I am very happy with both. Got a great price on the tutone even though it was new because it was the last of the tutones before they changed to the new style band.

Hi Hustler,

Sorry, that was the only way I could abbreviate that L-O-N-G username of yours!!

Welcome to this nuthouse called TRF...and we would love to see pics of your watches.

Thanks & cheers - JJ

Ed, an alternative is to use what I call "Bruce Math" where you have a ton of watches, but ignore several in order to say you only have 2.......

Al, you mean like when you say you have a JLC and a GO?

Rolex? Ahh that's for sale so it's not technically mine.

thanks for the greeting.

I have tried to take pics before but I always get a really bad glare or they look like shit. Any tips on how to take the best pics? I only have a 2.1 MP camera. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi alwaysonahustle and welcome to TRF. Try to take pictures in natural light but not in direct sunlight. Hopefully this would get rid of the glare you are suffering. An added bonus is you get better coulours in the end product.

Hustler,

The first thing you definitely have to avoid for good close-ups is the FLASH!! Does you camera have a "macro" mode? If so, that's what you should be using with a tripod for a rock steady camera.

Good luck - JJ

Well, I could say that I have only two TT DJs. Does that count?
