You are one master photographer.
I have the 14060M just like yours. Fantastic pistures.
Thanks for sharing.

You are the peerless superlative of photographers.....WOOOWWWW! I have an ancient Nikon system that uses film; now I am just going to have to break it out and give it a try! But no way I can equal what you have done here. Thanks so much for sharing!

Great pics guys .
Funny that you can see 'flaws' in the watch details that would never
be seen otherwise. I wonder if macro pics will get common enough to
push watch manufacturers to up their standards a bit .

Fantastic photos.

How do your avoid unwanted reflections? I was experimenting with a light tent with 2 off camera strobe, but I always get a lot of unwanted reflections on the dial face or bezel.

Here I try my hand at the etched crown. I nearly went blind trying to focus on it in dim room light though.
