MKII Kingston Macro shots


This is a short post, showing my limited edition MKII Kingston, only 300 pieces
manufactured (actually only 200 and change so far). MKII is a small "boutique" watch brand,
founded and run by Bill Yao, a watch fanatic that became a great watch maker.
This LE model is a tribute to James Bond's (played by Sean Connery) first watch,
the Rolex submariner, featured in "Dr. No" and "From Russia with love".
Besides the excellent quality, fit and finish, the most attractive part about it, IMHO,
is the special glossy gilt dial with "golden" printing that reflects light in a magical way.
 






I have Found an old Macro lens for my Nikon D90 and a polarizing filter I had
and used only natural sunlight, trying to fight the reflections when capturing the gilt dial's magic.
I have a lot to improve, but I did find some angles that show a little of this beauty,
for those who have not held a Kingston in their hands.













Cheers,
Galpo
