Did you use a macro lens + magnifier with an SLR to get this shot?

i used a macro105mm to shoot... then crop to this size...
i had a magnifier.... dcr250... can shoot even closer....

the hands is very well finished actually...
i went to my regular watchmaker just now...
the line u saw is purposely created for maximum reflection...
u can see it with bare eyes... u can barely see it with a 10x magnify loupe!

all ball with st steel hand is like this...

nothing is perfect when u use a microscope to see...
thats phillipe dufour can attract purists.... the gs can attract purists...
