A photo of my OP

I tried to take a good picture of my OP, but it didn't turn out that well.. I think I need a macro lens!!

What kind of setup do most of you guys use to take your watch shots??

Cheers,
Andrew

Nice! I'm eyeing that model myself, how do you like the 116000? Any wrist shots?

Sure!

I love this watch. It's so comfortable on the wrist! I fell in love with 36mm Rolex after buying this watch.

That's a nice photo you took. If you're really into product photo's then you might want to use a tripod and a remote release or the camera self timer. If shooting in natural light, then a reflector (aluminum foil) can lighten up the shadow side. Manual focus and a smaller aperture will improve focus control on your subject. Keep posting your pictures. Cheers!

Wow. I'm guilty of overlooking the OP model. That's a really clean dial
