Are they taken by iPhone through a microscope? Or just by iPhone? Amazing shots either way.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures. It's like National Geographic.

Interesting that the 2 "T"s in "T SWISS T" are different--that's so unexpected on a Rolex. The deterioration of finish on the Mercedes circle looks organic. The transparency of the green slime on the "S" is intriguing; looks easy to remove if you can get in there.

What sort of microscope is it? It's terrific for examining details on a watch (or a stamp).

Again, thank you.

The 24 hour hand looks like plated gold, doesn´t it?
Or is this effect caused by light reflections?
