We are all just trying to swim upstream

Hi, I’m Tom. I’m a photographer. BowlOfSalmon is a watchchannel on instagram & youtube. What started as a way just to stay creative during lockdown times turned out into this crazy mess. Thankful for the #watchfam community.

YIP, the bracelet came off after half a day … tr YIP, the bracelet came off after half a day … trying another combo , sporting a @barkandjack.shop nato here. One of my fav colours but unfortunately doesn’t flatter my wrist. Or does it ? #wristrolls in the stories. You decide. #seiko #seikospb213 #nato #natostrap #barkandjack #watchfam #watchesofinstagram #watchoftheday #watchphotography #aboutvintage #prospex #seikowatch #sonyalpha #watchphotography
Same case, same specs. But they are nothing alike. Same case, same specs. But they are nothing alike. The black #seikospb143 give the rugged, robust beater feel. It loves to strap up but feels at home on the steel bracelet. The white/blue #seikospb213 can pull of a more elegant look, it’s the first watch I won where I feel it doesn’t need to be on a steel bracelet. I currently have it on sailcloth (see stories). The way the light plays with the dial and bezel is so satisfying! (But makes me wish for a true silver dial watch now … any suggestions?). oh, on a personal note, getting my first 💉 today 💪 Enjoy the weekend! #watchfam #watchesofinstagram #seiko #prospex #seikowatch #spb143 #spb213 #divewatch #watchphotography #sonyalpha #watchenthusiast #watchoftheday
I was shooting the new seiko the other night when I was shooting the new seiko the other night when I decided to do a round of all watches in my collection. The #tudorbb58 deserves so much more wrist time. It’s gorgeous. Just look at the detail of the writing on that dial and those guilt hands 😍 this was the first watch I fell head over heels with and I can still see why. #tudor #watchfam #tudorwatch #tudorwatchclub #blackbay #bb58 #watchesofinstagram #watchoftheday #sonyalpha #watchenthusiast #hodinkee #couldntresist #watchphotography
Swipe to turn on the blue dial. (I just change the Swipe to turn on the blue dial. (I just change the camera angle, light, edit remained the same). To try and give you an idea of the magic this bezel does. 💙 Oh and yes, I’m looking forward to showing more strap combos on this one. This one I got from @thenatostrapco when my account was still at 500 followers. Thanks all for popping in here day after day, all the congrats I got yesterday felt overwhelming again ! 💙 #seiko #seikospb143 #seikospb213 #seikospb213j1 #seiko40thanniversary #seikobelgium #nato #natostrap #watchfam #watchesofinstagram #watchoftheday #watchphotography #sonyalpha
#NWA. I had this one on preorder from the day it w #NWA. I had this one on preorder from the day it was announced back in Februari. The Limited Edition 40th anniversary #seiko #spb213, sibling to my #spb143, probably my favourite watch I own. Bang for buck , the no nonsense (retro) masculine look, yes even with the rattling bracelet and a bezel with some play… I love it. That’s it , simple as that. So when they announced this limited edition (well 6000, so not so limited) blue bezel, white dial variant I wanted to have it. But yeah, that other major NWA happened a couple of weeks ago so today I went to the store today just to check it out and maybe I wouldn’t like it … well …. first, it’s not blue & white….. in fact, it doesn’t look anything like the press photo’s imho. It’s a sunburst silver dial that can turn white, with a black shiny bezel that has this oily blue shine on it … and I love it ! (Even my OCD side isn’t minding the lume plot at 3 that messes up the chapter ring atm) The colours make the watch feel COLD but way summary COOL. Curious what you guys think!? I do have an itch to put it on nato or rubber tho … . I wasn’t sure what photo I wanted to post as the first shot on the feed, it’s a bit of chameleon, I need to get some more time to get to know the watch so I can showcase all those characteristics properly (especially the silvery dial), I’ll try some different light setups. I’ll share some more natural light phone shots & wrist rolls in the stories and I’m sure you will see it pop up on the feed more the next couple of days. . #watchfam #watchesofinstagram #watchoftheday #watchenthusiast #watchphotography #diveWatch #toolwatch #automaticwatch #seikospb143 #seikospb213 #seiko62mas
This always felt like my lucky charm, I used to po This always felt like my lucky charm, I used to post it every for 500 followers. So I dug in my Lr archive a bit. We are at 8k now, and that is pretty darn mental if you think of it. Thank you all ! 🙏(And now excuse me, I have a watch to pick up today 🤫) #tudor #tudorwatchclub #watchfam #watchenthusiast #bronzebay #blackbaybronze #blackbay #patina #leather #watchphotography #automaticwatch #tudorwatch
Confession time. I’m a sinner. It’s #speedytue Confession time. I’m a sinner. It’s #speedytuesday so I’ll start with the #speedmasterprofessional but I’ll probably swipe left at some point today and pick up that #explorer2 from the #watchstand …. Can you forgive me #watchfam ? #omega #watchstand #rolex #speedmaster #speedy #moonwatch #polar #nospeedyisnooption #watchesofinstagram #226570 #watchenthusiast #watchphotography #sonyalpha
I Enjoyed the conversation we had yesterday. Lets I Enjoyed the conversation we had yesterday. Lets have another one. What is your favourite Toolwatch / every day beater ? And why ? Let’s hear em!? For me, it’s a battle between these two, both sturdy pieces in 2 different price segments #watchfam #spb143 #seiko #prospex #rolexexplorer2 #watchesofinstagram #226570 #watchoftheday #toolwatch #polar #automaticwatch #divewatch #rolexwatch #rolex
Let’s finally address the elephant in the room. Let’s finally address the elephant in the room. After my Youtube video’s about the #sealandergmt and #explorer2 I still receive questions like “does the #christopherward scratch the explorer II itch or “is a it solid replacement for it?” There is no straight yes or no answer. First things first, the CW Is a brilliant watch at that price point, I can’t fault it for anything . I can only try to answer this question as best as possible from my personal feeling…. I was on the list for an explorer II, I already committed to going down the rabbit hole and dropping that amount of cash for a watch. I did not know how long I would have to wait… Now lets go back in time .. before I committed to jumping on the rolex waitlist and I tried finding another watch that could take THAT spot in the collection but I always came back to the explorer. When the CW hit the scene I got my hands on it as a temporary piece and for a short while I thought (or even make myself believe) that maybe, just maybe .. I’d decide I wouldn’t want the EXPII anymore. I mean … it’s a white dial and it looks the same right …. well … the problem in my case was that every time I looked down at the watch I probably got impatient “how long will I have to wait”, I got anxious … “will it ever by my turn”. So is it a good waiting piece ? Yes and no … As long as you are not like me…. If you will always hate the fact that it is not an explorer II on the wrist, get another piece entirely. When you decided that the exp II is above your spending limit and you can honestly tell yourself you don’t want it and you know your spending limits… I think it’s a perfect piece and a fine conversation starter and every watch enthusiast you meet will tell you that this is a fine watch to own. Hope this answers clears some questions for some of you! Have a great Sunday #watchfam.. whatever watch is on the wrist. #rolex #watchesofinstagram #polar #gmt #automaticwatch #226570 #watchoftheday #watchstand #whitedial #christopherwardlondon #rolexexplorer #watchenthusiast #watchcollector
Weekend. Let’s have some adventure! The explorer Weekend. Let’s have some adventure! The explorer still glued to the wrist. But reality: I should be shooting new stuff, start filming the next one for the tube but I’m kinda not feeling it, thinking like, wtf do I need to come up with next … the orange exploded and I wasn’t even going to post that picture … there is a void now. Not to mention there is an 🍊 spot on my feed 🤷🏻‍♂️… #watchfam #rolexexplorer2 #rolexwatches #rolex #watchesofinstagram #polar #gmt #226570 #watchoftheday #automaticwatch #explore
Sometimes there is no inspiration for photos or ca Sometimes there is no inspiration for photos or captions. And the hands are bunched. Good thing it’s friday. #spb143 #seiko #seikomas62 #automaticwatch #watchesofinstagram #watchfam #watchoftheday #divewatch #toolwatch #sbdc101

Middle of the week, time to refuel. No #digihumpda Middle of the week, time to refuel. No #digihumpday for me. Just some vitamine C to keep that movement running sharp at -2/+2 per day. . Trying some more rubber strap options from @watchbandits. This is their rhombus strap. . No idea how I came up with this shot, first orange things I found I guess 🤪 . #rolex #orange #watchfam #gmt #rolexexplorer2 #explorerii #watchesofinstagram #rubberstrap #watchenthusiast #watchphotography #watchphotography #luxurywatch #orangeisthenewblack
Waaay outside the comfort zone. Both with the #poc Waaay outside the comfort zone. Both with the #pocketshotweek #pocketshot and the fact that I tried the @watchbandits #tropicalrubberstrap for the first time. (Not even talking about the stress of removing the bracelet) Summery home office vibes. If you hadn’t seen yet, @hendersonshorology @thespeedyshutter @wrists.and.walls @mrcritchlow are hosting #pocketshotweek. Top effort Guys! #watchfam #watchesofinstagram #rolex #226570 #explorer2 #polarexplorer #gmt #whitedial #rolexexplorer #watchenthusiast #wristporn
