Thanks, Nilo -- this sort of shot
...is where the D800E is in its element with its ultra high resolution -- and a straight-on shot makes it easy to get everything comfortably within the DOF available.
Getting the lighting down to the chain and fusee was another matter... 
Best,

Hairspring pics ....
A very nice picture of a heat-blued steel hairspring. I think these pictures here are matching nicely: http://un1.watchprosite.com/img/watchprosite/un1/36/scaled/un1_image.1342536.jpg A standard Nivarox hairspring. It needs not to be blued. http://un1.wat...
You thought correctly!...
Your shots are always so.... so...... so wonderfully clean! Still the shots by which all others must be judged. Cheers, pplater.
Zenith Chronomaster movement
My Chronomaster went to a complete maintenance and my watchmaker, he is doing this with all watches, sent with the watch a CD with 200+ pictures of his work. This one is a pic of the 410Z movement during the "dismantling" phase: (Pic by Adriano, my watchm...
What a great service from your watchmaker.
I have asked for shots of my watches during service, but no one has been able to oblige me. Andrew

You, Sir...
...are in your element on 'Macro Monday'. Lovely work, as always. Actually: probably more like 'lovely play' for you! Cheers, pplater.
Play and work, perhaps
These are from a series that I have been shooting as part of my photography lessons -- and it has been a labor of sorts as well as great fun to pay attention to lighting, contrast, and composition at the same time... Thanks for the kind words! Best, Gary
Your last picture ...
Marvelous. More close than that and we can see the ruby molecules or the gold atoms. Cheers, Nilo

Great macros Gary....
I like picture 2 very much. My eyes are drawn to the tourbillon cage where it is in focus and the wording tourbillon . I like how the watch is framed and the great lighting. Are you enjoying your course ? . What changes if any, have you made to your macro...

40 plus years of battle scars
Hi All rather try and prise the back off my Vulcain - thought I'd just focus on its battle scars. I Think its done remarkably well for nearly 50 years old. The only other thing that these shots probably highlight - is that its needs a clean! Cheers JML ...

You're killing me ... dead
Chezard Dead Seconds Cal. 115? This will have to be a subset of future Macro Monday threads: identify this part, or identify this watch, based on a close-up image. Fun. Thanks. Andrew ...
