Here’s an easy one to start you off. Where am I?

This is going to be a great thread. Unfortunately I have not got any wrist shots with monumental landmarks yet. Would definitely take more of them in the future.
Quite right, the Sydney Harbour Bridge

Also known as The Coathanger because of its arch design. It was completed in 1932 and was, at the time, the largest (and tallest) spanning arch bridge in the world. Along with the Opera House it is a focal point of Sydney harbour in Australia. Andrew ...

I'll eat my hat. (Let's pretend I have a hat!) This could be fun....I'll try to contribute over the next few days. Got a trip to a new city (for me) next week... Oh and that first one...that bridge...those palm trees...the stunning environs...must be Newc...

I have nothing to contribute, but will peruse with interest.
Actually I am a little nervous now ...

Thanks Mike, Actually I'm a little nervous now. I thought the photos would come flooding in - but perhaps there are only a couple of us watch loonies that take photos of their watches in front of the world's important landmarks. I don't need that degree o...

The Patio

Fernando, Was that shot taken from 'The Patio' on the 4th floor of Harbour City, by any chance? Esharp
Awww c'mon, that's too easy!...
By: Esharp : March 3rd, 2014-02:59
Awww c'mon, that's too easy! Rue Soufflot just outside Le Comptoir du Pantheon, Paris. I'm waiting for the shots from Machu Picchu... :-)
A couple for the mix...

The wrist in the second shot belongs to a noted Purist - any guesses? (Andrew, you were there so you're disqualified!). For full marks - how many bridges in the second shot? :-) Cheers, pplater. ...
No cigar!!!...

Are there two different bridges depicted on that Corum Golden Bridge??? If so, then I get to four bridges. I believe this photo is taken from the Opera House? At least that makes sense from what I can determine from google maps;) Cheers, Tim
Second time lucky!...
By: pplater : March 4th, 2014-17:06
As you say, the fourth bridge is the 'Golden Bridge'. The wrist, by the way, is Thomas M's. Cheers, pplater.
Some sort of job interview?
By: AndrewD : March 5th, 2014-11:50
Which lasted all afternoon and all night I recall. Crawled into bed after sunrise. Memorable evening with plenty of bridges! Andrew ...
