same for black-dialed watches. Generally, you see the camera.

I did a pen a while back from Ebony, with Rhodium plated hardware. It was really tough to photograph it and bring up any detail in the wood and not have the hardware just get blown out.

I can imagine that a black watch would be hard, plus the problem of the crystal over the dial, so you have to be careful of not getting a direct reflection of lights. I’ve got some of my pen pics where I can count the ribs on my umbrella. Really need to get a small soft box
