Clean up a watch the best way you can. When it is possible, wash it before the shooting.
Wear soft gloves when shooting highly polished surfaces.
The second-best cleaning tool is Photoshop. Use it to get rid of the remaining dust spots.
Always use a tripod.
Play with the aperture to get the desired depth of field.
Use natural light as much as possible.
Always use scrim, unless you need to get some special effects like sunburst.
And of course, practice, practice, practice.
Good luck!
PS. Please free to PM me if you have the specific questions. I would be happy to help.
Terrific pics and thanks for the advice and help.

Great shots everyone. Thank you all for sharing them.

Dirty like the way I like my
