How do i take a good picture of a watch?

[midnight]

Hi All,

I have a watch that i am going to sell on ebay. I am finding it very hard to actual take a decent picture of it without reflections on it etc.
Are there any tricks to photographing watches?

Cheers Dave

got a CPL filter? that will get rid of the reflections. also dont use a flash straight on

Also take it at a slight angle, taking it straight on will show refrlections.

I have tried all that so far but you can still see a reflection.
I was thinking i would have to try and take the picture in some sort of box or do it in a dark room with just one light source

I got my filters mixed up, haven't tried the cpl one yet so will give it a go tonight.

Thanks for your replys

Dave
