I was playing around with a macro lens and got a few good shots of my Transocean Chrono.

Thanks everyone. It had been a while since I did any macro shooting (I've been in landscape mode for a while) so it was fun. Not to mention that since getting this watch I've been more than a bit obsessed.

For these shots I used a Nikkor PC 85 f2.8. I didn't make use of the PC capabilities (tilt/shift) but the optics on it are amazing so it's worth using even when no PC is necessary.

If any of you want photos of your watches feel free to send them to me. :wink:

I think that particular religious war may be more fierce than anything in the watch industry.

Fantastic shots. Great watch too. Been eying the TOC as my next purchase. Your pics are providing big motivation to make that happen soone rather than later.
