    That is a nice picture!!!
    Maybe I will use it as my next ad!
    Not kiddin :)

    Let me know if they are in contract.

    I looked in all the literature I have, none of it states what movement is being used.
    They just state Swiss. By the look of the hands and the pinon, it appears to be an ETA.
    But I will have to call them to make sure, or open up a watch to find out.

    I will ask them - should be no prob. The burnette may have an agent as she does work every now and then.

    How about an ad:

    "Size DOES Matter.. "

    I am coming up with a few other ideas and cheesy lines, maybe I can consult for you!

    For those that asked, the watch on the Blonde is a Russian brand, dive watch that Chris posted up on post 503 (http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=137545374&postcount=503_)

    The watch on the burnette is a Laco German Pilots watch, Automatic. 55mm howitzer!!

    I think you could sell that green one to Don the Magic Juan, it's money green! On second thought, it probably doesn't have enough diamonds(cause there's none) for his bling requirements :)

    Chris,
    How do you get such clear up close photos of your watches? What settings do you use? I'm assuming you are using an SLR.

    Its not the camera ;) And mine is stuck in 'Macro' mode :)

    12 years of trying to get it right...the camera is a 12 yr old model Nikon.
    I purchased the NEW Olympus E410, but my oldie takes better pictures (or I just know how to use it :) )

    Here are a couple cool pics, and one of the camera that I dont know how to use (But apparently it's a great camera) :D
