Watch Photography: My New Nikon D3300 and Some Classic Divers

Watch photography is one of those things.  We can all take passable watch shots thanks to the nowadays incredible cameras which accompany our mobile devices.  However, I've always been interested in picking up a more premium camera with the specific interest of taking some better "blog quality" watch photos.  I want to provide better photos for my dedicated (I know you're out there) readers.  I recently acquired a "nice" camera, the Nikon D3300.  I bought it completely as stock from an Amazon seller who sells returned or refurbished items.  Though the camera did not come in Nikon packaging, it came with all the stock accessories and a standard 18-55mm zoom lens.  Here are a few of my early attempts at actual photography with the new camera.  Any insight or advice is much appreciated.

Thanks to my lovely wife for the action shot taken before a quick trip to Michigan.  The bike is a Cannonade CAAD10 if anyone is interested.  

The Zodiac Sea Wolf is one of my all-time favorite divers.  These classic and underrated watches share a rich history with watches like the Rolex Submariner and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and can be had for a measly few hundred dollars.
