Take under exposed photos and if needed tweak using photoshop or if you don't own a copy of photoshop download and try a open source program (free) called The Gimp. It's a bit clunky but every part as powerful as photoshop :) I do all my photos using the manual setting on my Canon DSLR which helps if your use to the old film camera's like me. I have a Canon professional camera upstairs that cost over £10k in the 1980's that is totally useless now. I didn't pay that for it I swopped it for a car (car now worth about £20k)... sniff sniff sob sob

I've been fighting with reflections in glass for years with the clocks I put on my website. Good luck with that one!

Also for photographing watches use a light box, you can buy them online or do what I done and made my own.
Basically get a cardboard box, cut three square holes in it, one at the top and one either side, cover these holes with some baking parchment/grease proof paper. Then get a couple of torches or lamps and shine these through the holes, you get great light with no shine or glare on the crystals of watches.
I've got 3 light boxes of varing sizes and do not get a long with them at all :undecided: The only thing they seem any good at to me is for my cat to use as a play house.
