Hopefully, you're not just posting randomly to get your post count up. That never ends well.

Thank you for taking the time to help a photo noob like myself. This encouraged me to get a proper setup as I know it will bring out the beauty of the watch and increase the likelihood of a sale. Just the tripod helped me. And who cant afford a cardboard box with a few pieces of legal size copy paper? However after learning of the wal mart package that is what I'm shooting for.

Definitely not.

 

Will be putting my Rolex Day Date up for sale as soon as I can work out how to post pictures without Photobucket saying "Look who's popular"...

I was actually just toying with photography method on my watch today, trying to capture the impact moment of a water droplet on the sapphire. Pretty hard even with adjustable timers. To much variance in my water dropper... Regardless I got this one I'll post up. :)

It's cheating, but why not use an app that gives slow motion video, then choose a frame from the vid.

Video is not usually a succession of still frames, they are sometimes (most of the time but not always) interlaced, meaning that if you stop on a particular frame, you only have half of it and half of the previous or next one, like that :

You also have the progressive method, but then again, not perfect the still image become a bit fuzzy :
