This is my ideal watch, makes it tough for me to decide on the GMT Master IIc lol. The chapter ring engravings are somehting I like no matter what anyone says.

Nice pics!

Just a suggestion: when using macro mode and doing close up shots, it helps to have a LOT of INDIRECT lighting - e.g. reflected sunlight. This allows you to increase your 'depth of field' (how much of the picture is in focus) by allowing smaller f-stops (e.g. f/5.6, f/8.0, f/16, etc.).

Try switching to manual mode on your camera and play around with aperture (f-stops) and shutter speeds.

Looking forward to more pics. Great watch, btw, I just bought its close cousin, the SD :)
