Thanks Nilo,
I'm using a Nikon D3200 and a Nikon Micro 85mm VR. The camera is mounted on a tripod and a wireless remote is used to take photos to avoid shakiness. A lightbox is used with LED lighting to provide adequate lighting for the subject.
In hindsight, getting this particular lens was not the best idea; I only later found out I could have gotten sharper manual lenses for the same cost. Furthermore, I didn't need the VR...it was more trouble than worth when using it handheld.

In-Progress...
Trying to take a couple photos (maybe a video?) and do a full review/writeup. This particular watch has likely been done to death all over the Internet, so I'll try to keep it in depth to make it interesting...Also, trying to improve at taking macro photo...
First picture is perfect ...
Skyeriding, Care to share with all the setup that you used? Lovely details, great macro shots. Cheers, Nilo

Impressive kit.
With regard to the light box, how does it stack up when trying to use a phone camera instead of a real one? Does it come out just as well?
Here's two, unedited from my Sony phone with a little cropping
It would likely do much better with a loupe or clip-on macro lens, but sufficiently works if you're not going -too- close... Regards, skyeriding ...
A lot of detail for a phone camera
Thanks for obliging! The 1863 movement is a nice one to photograph.
This is proof that one still needs a proper camera to take really good photos. :)
My "smartphone + gadget" trick can't work wonders like what you did. :p
Nice close-ups! Looks like an Omega 1863/Lemania 1873 as found
in the Speedmaster Pro "sapphire sandwich". Delrin brake replaced with a metal one.
Exactly reintitan!
It is the Cal 1863, which notably use the metal break versus the delrin one of the 1861, and also has applied cotes de geneve. This is the sapphire sandwich version. Regards, skyeriding
