Taking pictures of your watches....

Submitted by plainsmen on December 30, 2010 - 1:56am

So I've been slowly progressing in my picture taking I think.  As with everything, I can never do anything half way and I've been wanting to see if I can take decent pictures and I've a bit of artist flair in my blood.

About a month ago I was researching taking pictures for ads... you know ebay type stuff and I was wondering how some people can take such nice pictures.    I saw you pretty much need a light tent to get the right lighting.  I looked up the prices and was aghast at how much they wanted for some cloth covered wire frames!

Just came across a 1928 Baroness (from what i can tell). Watch does not work took it to a local watch shop and I was told they could not get any parts for it.If any one knows where I could locate parts to get it working I would appreciate it.

The hour and minutes hand.... not moving.

So if the watch is ticking... seconds hand is tracking fine... and the main hands aren't moving... what could be culprit gents?

Oh I almost forgot.... the hands move/track fine when I'm setting it.

This is grandpa's watch again... so reguardless I'm eventually taking it in for service/cleaning... and I'll ge this problem fixed as well.  It would be nice to know what I'm probably looking at though.

Thanks guys,
