·Since I recently got into watches and got myself a very nice Omega Geneve 137.001 Cal. 602, I wanted to make some nice photographs of it.
Little problem, as I'm rather a motorsport photographer my kit is the exact opposite of what you'd use for professional watch photography. Nevertheless, I wanted to try and get the best I can. It's far from macro photography, but at least I have my little beauty on some digital prints. And yes, with a Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 USM II attached to a Canon EOS R (I know, not the exact definition of a sports camera either - works for motorsport, which is relatively slow and predictable compared to football or other ball- / teamsports), standing more then 1m away form the watch!
First of all, I want to thank @duffy7 for offering me to buy one of his watches. Just couple of days before that I bought another 137.001 which was overpriced for the condition it was in. Thankfully I could return it and avoid to do a big mistake. Thank you OF for the feedback I received and making it able to own my first Omega watch - and man, it's a nice one!
I'll save you the story how I went from not even considering a new watch, not being interested at all in watches, to consider buying a new one arount € 250 to finally buying a vintage Omega worth multiple times that amount - in just over 3 weeks time - and even getting a Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 (white dial with PVD rose golden colour bezel) in the process. I'd like to get more watches, but that's it; no money left...
Whatever... here are some pictures of my Omega
