New to the big family from SF bay area, questions on taking pictures for watches

I was really thinking about buying a super AAA replica just for the style but ended up bite the bullet and bought a real deal used one at a really good price.

I love my watch now, I can't stop looking at my wrist lol. I love people asking me "What time is it now?".

Newb question, for those of you who have ultra high resolution pictures, which macro lens and DSLR body do you use? Thanks in advance.

good call on going ahead with the real deal! Now you don't have to worry about someone realizing that it's a replica!

Welcome aboard. As for the lens q. There are several members who shot macro. Jocke comes to mind as well as SLRDUDE and a few others. They may better answer your question as their more qualified to do so. Cheers!

welcome

I use a Nikon DSLR with an 18-200mm lens. quite easy to just zoom in from distance, activate vibration reduction and bob's your uncle.

below are some of my macro shots (not been through Photoshop or Lightroom).
