I Hate When.........

Post by DEMO » Mon Oct 08, 2018 9:29 am

I have a real problem. I hate when I photograph a watch to sell and when I am finished in Photoshop and I'm looking at the photos on my computer I say to myself... DAMN! That's a good looking watch. I can't sell that!!!

:tap: :tap: :tap: ...... Then I realize I have too many watches and I need to thin some out. :rolleyes:

Does that happen to anybody else?

Yep! All the time :lol:. I have found that some watches look awesome when photograghed but don't look near as good on the wrist so I usually convince myself with going through with the sale.

Third for this. Every once in a while it happens when I get lucky with pictures. The MM300 was one of them.

One of my all-time favorite FS listings was a few years back for a Jean Richard Aquascope. Was dead-set on selling it, but every time I look at the photos for the listing, I wonder if I should chase it down again. Watch was hella photogenic.

i don’t even make it to the taking pics part.
i pull the watch(es) out to wear a few days to check timing prior to listing, but end up just putting them back in the safe.

Yup.

Sometimes I take a picture of a watch I love and the picture makes me want to sell it.

Has never happened Dave. ..Haven't sold any watches though, and also don't
take ridiculously nice pictures like you do there. :clap: Can definitely see how
it happens with you, and the other guys though. :salute:
