Titanium Halios Seaforth IV...
...getting up close and personal with the crown.
I figured that if I ever wanted a really tight picture of the crown I had to get it right away, before I started wearing the watch around, and it got not just the usual scuffs and scratches, but all that weird permalint and fingertip detritus which is always there in every crown's crannies if you look too closely.
This is at about 2:1, and required a whole bunch of bellows extension to get that magical Rodenstock HR Digaron in focus. Then there had to be focus stacking, because depth of field isn't plentiful under these circumstances (especially if you're keeping the lens near wide open, where it seems to perform best).
