Could anyone recommend / point me towards where I could find a good quality, ready to use, Victorian-esque pocket or fob watch prop, a bit like the one pictured below?

Many thanks ;-)

Thanks EnglishBob

That does look of interest.... I will check it out.

I was looking for something that will scale up probably.

But, even if it's not detailed enough by default for a closer up shot, I might feasibly be able to re-texture it to sort that, if the actual obj is fine enough.

I was probably going to likely slap some BB shaders on the metal parts of whatever I find, in any case... so it would maybe just be a case of making a higher res clock face perhaps.

Cheers ;-)

There's a pocket watch included with the Hatter pack for Gosha

Also there are a couple at sharecg

Oops... just noticed the sharecg models are DS or Bryce only.

Thanks Jazzmin :-)

That March Hare one looks good certainly...

I did find the sharecg ones already... the fact they're in obj format isn't necessarily a problem... but I found some issues importing this particular model, as far as I recall...

...also I remember, the usage rights in the readme were in French, so I struggled a bit interpreting... but from what I could make out, it seemed like they might be little restrictive... or at least aren't openly unrestricted?

This may not matter overly, as I'm not making commercial renders or anything like that... but I'm just a bit dubious of using anything where it isn't clear for me upfront regarding how it can be used...

There is one included in this collection

Oooh... thanks Hornet... that looks perfect actually!

:-)

Found one or two actually reasonably priced models on Turbosquid now too (although these are in obj or 3ds format)... I didn't realise there was anything on there around the $5 mark... but there is!

However, Hornet3d's suggestion is still the winner so far, I think ;-)

EDIT: Well... actually... it's maybe between that and the MarchHare set suggested by Jazzmin...

I was digging through some older CDs of poser goodies and found a freebie:

Syspics Digital Imaging Pocket Watch.  This is the only link I could find for it:  http://www.omskcity.com/~k_av/3dlinks.html

There's one in the freebies at: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/details.php?item_id=32519

Hope that helps some

There is a barometer at this site that might work from a distance.  I didn't hyperlink because Ness has something on his site that prevents access to the site from a hyperlink.

Cool - thanks Cedarwolf... I did see that one in freestuff already. Its a possible...

...and thanks Acadia. I'm looking for something I can have in sharp close up really.

However many thanks for that site link. Even though not for this, everything on that site would be really useful otherwise!
