A trio of Omegas

I was messing around with my Canon EOS 400D SLR today and after trying for hours to get some decent shots of my Omegas, I realised that I:

1) Need a proper macro lens
2) I need a tripod because my hands suck

The below is the only shot that looks half way decent. Doesn't really do these amazing watches justice.

Thanks! The box is a Pelican 1120 storage case with pinch foam. You can find them on Amazon in an assortment of colors (and sizes). Many people use them for camera equipment, scuba equipment, etc. I made the holders for the watches out of pipe insulation. The case is very robust and waterproof.
