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.

Kudos Rolex.. good to know that the watch I buy will never look as good as the one in the photo.
