Removed some unwanted blemishes ( speckles / scratches ) with the healing brush. Selective colour on the badge of the watch to remove a horrible light cast after bringing up the levels. Finally applied a small blur to the outer edges as the required DOF I couldnt acheive with the camera.

Because the lettering on the watch is out of focus, you've lost the ability to really "sell" with this image. I like the attempt you've made, and your idea is sound, you just need to work a little on the execution.
I believe the watch would have shown better with alittle light on the top of the band. Just alittle out of focus but not much. I am distracted with the blurry lower band. I may have brought the face down alittle so both ends of bands are displayed, centering on the watch head.
There are a few pictures of watches here and I can not give them high scores because I do not fiend them as jewellery sorry
And this one is used, it would look much better if it ware not!
very good presentation fro a compositional point of view. However, the focus here is left wanting. These angles present or add to the difficulty of getting the most from your dof. At this distance it is shallow and the angle extends the problem. The way to achieve optimum dof is to reduce the aperture say to f22 and then shoot it in as many seconds as you need, provided you stop the watch. Anayway, you get full credit for superb composition.
