A "cool" shot.

Here is another shot done in the refrigerator, the world's best light box!

Handheld, 35mm f/2.0

Open fridge.
Remove food.
Place watch in fridge, under the light.
Point the camera at the watch and check for unwanted reflections. For example, you in undies.
Take the shot.

There you have it! LOL

Very cool. If you dont wear undies, then that reflection issue shouldn't be a problem.
