    Is it me alone, or are there others collectors who have the same reflex ; when someone approaches with a camera, I turn my wrist so my watch is shown nicely on the picture. Here is such a pic from friday-evening, I was member of the jury during a quiz. ( best place to sit, you get all the answers before the rest )

    Nice picture Tonny! I assume you are in the jury of the Gangnam Style dance contest?

    I recognize your reflex and often try to get my watch in the picture too!

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Sure do! It makes perfect sense, as these timepieces aren't just some utilitarian clock, but works of art.

    Why shouldn't we angle them for the best possible view?

    If we talk watches, my first nature is to always turn the watch towards my body when I pass close to things that might harm or scratch like walls, doors or similar.

    Kind regards,

    Same here, additionally I bend my wrist in such a way that my hand sticks out a bit, so that the door, wall etc. touches my hand first. I even seek contact to make sure that I don't make an unwanted sudden movement. Rereading this, I think the weekend blues is taking over, I need to go to work again.

    Kind regards,
    Paul
