You have the lovely Explorer 2s in the foreground and the background... somewhat unsettling... can't explain why Hi mate.... The passion of watches is born precisely from those in the pocket. The fact that they are all at 10.10 is motivated by an advertising aspect of the watches. The hands are on and not down, so from the image of a live watch and in motion and this position then allows you to see the brand well. So you see nothing disturbing. Thanks anyway for your observation. BB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BB Hi BB Indeed I am aware of the 10:10 thing, even more amusing is that rep watch pics tend to show 1:50 What I found unsettling was the meticulousness in setting all the watches to the same time. Even in ADs, they have their watches all on different times, lazy bastards! That is a very nice collection, very satisfying to see! I'm staying away from collecting pocket watches, because then it'll be another rabbit hole... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BB There is an AD by me - all the watches are set to 10:10 or 2:50- they also pull all the crowns quartz/auto so they stay at same time.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
