James Bond Watches Blog

As my readers know, photography is an important part of the value-added I provide in covering James Bond watches. So the idea that I’d have read a blog item on the Leica M8 digital camera shouldn’t surprise. The sad part is that the narcissism that’s driven so many of us away from any last remnant of enjoyment on James Bond and horology forums now reduced to ethos of angry watch guys is, apparently, increasingly ubiquitous. In this case, a photographer named James Russell wrote about focus issues (among others) with a Leica M8 camera he’d used, and owns. The first camera on click here for complete entry

Plagiarist forced to cash his own kited check No doubt who took the James Bond watch photograph above. No doubt who owns exclusive copyright to any and all uses of it. And no doubt that the low-life who stole and used it as part of his watch sale listing on eBay knew all of the above. He knew it when he stole the photo from my site; he knew it when I, um, “encouraged” him to remove it from his eBay listing.

Perfect illustration of how online forums recommend you treat authorized watch dealers. (Only one of the reasons I won’t support ‘em.) What’s the Latin phrase for “let the seller beware”? futuristgerd: (via “Showrooming” cartoon | Tom Fishburne: Marketoonist) click here for complete entry

Why makers and dealers value James Bond Watches websites: Original title: The Permanent Disruption of Social Media - and what it means for NGOs  *MustRead :) futuristgerd: Great piece on how social media is changing NGOs and NPOs and the entire business of donations. MUST READ. Key point: re-defining contributions:)) “…When organizations emphasize financial donations as the primary means of support, they may be doing so at the risk of discouraging other types of supportive activities—many of which have the ability to expand significantly the influence of the person at the center of the vortex, and therefore increase the contributions of others.
