Here is the 31.25X result from the setup above. One needs better alignment for the lens to be useful. Stacking SW may help, 31.25x is too much for a watch.

What always fascinated me was how well my friend was able to take photos with this setup on film. I remember he had a DIY reflector for his flash that made a nice even light around whatever his target was.

Sorry I've been AWOL. I wasn't going to mention it, but I thought better of it since we are like family and you deserve an explanation.
