Someone once posted a picture of a Rolex, claiming it to be a model of his own
creation, and rendered in POV. Neither of which was true.
I'll leave it to you to guess the title of that post.

A very lovely watch, wish I could afford it.
The reflection works nicely to enhance the look of the finish, but it makes me
wonder whether the watch is supposed to be horizontal or vertical. If it is
vertical, as the image suggests, I'd expect the lower half of the glass to
reflect the ground, not the trees. Just pointless nitpicking, though.
Also, IMO the hands are too white, makes them look plastic (presumably they are
gold or silver, I somehow doubt a Lange watch would have any truck with plastics
:)

My original comment was not claiming this to be a fruad by the way. I 
thought it was an excellent image, just to clarify...

I doubt anyone will ever be able to submit a picture of a watch without
AWSOM ROLEX being mentioned in someway.

You think...?
Note the lovely aliasing, the nice bland texturing, great simple background.

That looks a lot like one of the "rock-watches" by Tissot.

Looks like you've made quite an impression here. Good job.
And pay no attention to the Rolex comments.
