Since you have modelled your watch entirely with rhino you could submit your picture
to the Rhino3d.com gallery when it is finished. There's a collection of
well-modelled watches and yours would fit in very well.

One thing off topic : Most of the time I manage to figure out where people are from
just by their names or email-address, but for you I get stuck. Which country are you
from ?
