Inspired by greatness!
I like to try and pop in here at least once a day, to learn from the interesting threads, laugh at the entertaining ones and most importantly of all to admire the photos. I'm terrible at posting on forums, much more of a listener than a talker online (not at all true of me in real life though!!), but 13 days into 2009 I have decided to add a new years resolution to the list! Post more at WTF!! This forum has the best atmosphere of any I visit so I feel that time spent here is more productive than most of the time I 'waste' on the internet.There have been some great photos bouncing round here lately, what with the photo competition as well as the usual high standard, and its had me itching to take a photo or two that do my GMT justice.Last week I popped into Marks & Spencer's and spotted a little camera tripod for ¡ê3 in the sale.

A new addition to my collection - Thin-O-Matic from 1965
This nice 14K Hamilton Thin-O-Matic was just dropped off at my office only a few minutes ago. Sorry for the off white balance pictures.

What a luck !

Dubai
A work-related travel to the Middle East forced me into a brief stop/layover in Dubai. I ventured to the Dubai main shopping mall where I stumbled with various watch boutiques from many of the big hitters I described the scene to my wife as the "food court" of watch stores! This gave me an opportunity to play with a new camera app on my iPhone and see first hand some of the many new models ....here are some of the shots.

Factory Tour
Last week had the privilege of going on a two day trip to Patek.Wow.I know others have been...But, tour of the museum.And then the factory.Got to see in the flesh the 150 anniversary watch..And the star calibre...The whole collection in one hit...But no photos allowed from inside.If you ever get the chance go! It makes you realise why they cost so much, and actually you realise that they are worth the money....
