Both D3X and D700 are great cameras for the macro pics we do here...
As for me, I have only one camera (D4S) that I use since long but the secret resides I think in the lens. I also use the same as you the great Zeiss 100mm macro Planar for almost all watch photography as you will see in the exif details of my gallery www.flickr.com

Funny I was just hesitating between getting a Laowa 25mm or a 60mm both ultra macro with f/2.8... Did you try the 25mm also ? Both seem great options...

Snowflake
Outstanding watch and superb pictures. May I add the beveling on the hours markers is exquisite. Great post my friend and I owe one.
I am always in awe in front of the beauty and the quality of your pics my friend, really...
...and you surely know how much I look into the details. Really beatiful work, thanks again for sharing these beauties, Mike
Thanks my friend
after all those pics and years of photographing it's hard to come up with something new and fresh. It feels like I already have done every angle of a watch.
Your feeling is wrong ...
No my friend you did not necessarily cover every angle of the watch : the light varies and the composition also, so the result is unique Take care, Mike
Would you like to be the Seiko forum official photographer?
Excellent photos, thanks! Mike
