My favourite watch

[thereyougo!]

This is the first time I have used off camera flash, and I have plenty to learn there!

My wife bought me a fantastic Faberge watch for my 40th birthday, and I rather suspect that I wear it too often from the scratches on the 18 carat gold body of the watch.

The BW is cool and much more visually interesting than the dusty face. A bit of a diagonal tilt through the frame would make both shots a little more dynamic.

That's the idea.

I rejigged the first one too and added a little more fill light to bring out the enamel detail

What are those white spots which stole its appeal in the first one?
I liked the B&W one very much, but a bit unhappy about the reflection on its rim

I suspect it's dust..
