I got a little frustrated trying to take this shot. The mop dial was a pain, I used a polarizing filter with natural light and a little filtered fill flash. All my little tricks failed me here. It seems to me that certain watches are more photogenic than others and this ain't one of 'em, although it looks great in the "flesh" so to speak.

That MOP Alpha Explorer turned out really nice! What about domed crystals without any anti-reflective coating? I've had a heck of a time trying to get a photograph of my Zodiac chronograph. I've tried a dozen or so different angles with no luck. What's the best lighting and angle for these? Would natural lighting be better than flourescent?

You guys are killing me with your talk of poor pics. If I could get my pics to look half as good as your two I would be thrilled. BTW, Sam,very sharp Zodiac.

Warren,
try bouncing the flash off to one side. If you cant, then try cupping a sheet of white cardboard just under the flash in order to bounce it.
Did you try using a light box or light tent with daylight lamps on either side? That could fix the overexposed areas nicely.
Dave.
