1. It is a fantastically photogenic watch (in my view). The dial and hands look very different depending on the angle and the light - especially direct sunlight - ranging form chocolate brown to gun metal black and almost speckled grey.



2. The lack of AR was quite apparent in some shots (I have left a couple of examples in below). I never find this hurts legibility but in direct light I had to work quite hard to find a good angle to avoid obvious reflections.



3. It is no Grand Seiko but the watch holds up really well under macro - it has made me love the watch more. The bezel particularly has a great texture and the gold indices are a joy to view under magnification.



4. I need to learn more about watch photography composition!



Here are some indoor and outdoor shots:
