That is awesome, love the detail of the second hand movement!!

I'm assuming your shutter speed was just under 3 seconds...

Correct, Steve. The reason I had to use 3 seconds is simply that this image was taken using a reversed lens mounted on a macro lens to get real close and to get the necessary resolution / pixels to portray the seconds hand. Using a reversed lens as a 2nd lens in addition to the 1st lens, means that you reduce the light and thus need longer exposure / shutter time.

great effect

I took another pic this morning using a 20mm extension tube and a 2 second shutter speed. Unfortunately, it also shows every little spec of lint and dust.

From last year playing with my loupe

I know I know not a Sub.

It also shows just how beautiful the sunburst blue is and the gold detail of the lettering and the hour indices.
Truly stunning

Some amazing shots here

Well done, indeed! Love those macro shots. The first one really gives a true idea of that beautiful shade of blue.

Is that actually plastic or some special material ? What are the dials made of ? Is the "Rolex and official chronometer" test printed on the dial ?
