Nice video I guess it is necessary because viewing these pieces in pictures is totally different from viewing the real thing. For me it looks better in the real life.

The joke is,

i always skip Rolex news and articles because i knew that i cant afford one, but then i saw the share on the above at WUS and i click to check it out since i am very deep into photography hobby and the article is about photoshop.

Then voila, i saw the watch and wow, i love it instantly and thought, why not, maybe i can take it as a long term goal and get it.

So i do the search on the daytona cosmography in the article. OMG it cost 70k USD  :mooning:. What a long tern goal.

I previously assumed they used rendereings, the watches look so perfect.  Renderings would probably be easier.

Rolex being old school minded company they preferred to take photo and it and photshop from there instead of render out of thin air outright
