I am happy this thread was revived, I just downloaded the app my self. I think I need some more practice....
It looks like a shot without a crystal, so clean. My macro Citizen (Diamond Flake and bullhead chronograph) shots:
Yup, however you can see some reflections in top left I'm trying now with "focus stacking" method (not a beginner thing to be honest), but I'll share with you the first results
Not nearly the same level as some of the shots in this thread. Vacheron Constantin 42042 'military dial'.
I agree outside in daylight. Try blocking sun with your body and let light filter around and try sun exactly opposite so you do not shade and sometimes you get dramatic "shiny" shots. Black dials are still my nemesis in any lighting. Of course removing crystal can do wonders.
Not much of a macro shot. Lighting poor but sent pic to a friend who designs tooling for aerospace just to show him how small the gib (think circlip) is that secures the rotor axle on a Rolex 3035. And that they come in different thicknesses!
