Apologies for posting a pic with the hands all piled up on one part of the dial. This is not an aesthetically pleasing pic. :)

Quite frankly it’s unacceptable and the forum expects better. Next time I hope you’ll wait patiently for 40 minutes instead of just taking a quick photo and hoping no one will notice.

I appreciate the feedback. By way of an excuse, I was sidetracked eating my lunch at 1:50 and forgot to take a pic.

Still my pic has hopefully highlighted how not to do it, for any of those who intend to enter the Trident summer competition. :)

It’s farcical isn’t it. This kind of behaviour might be ok on various social media platforms but I think @nbg needs to take a long hard look at himself and think about what he’s done….
