Got it !!!
I am one happy Bunny !!!!!!!
      Any tips on how to take a "crisp" photo of the dial? Have tried with the lights on/off, shade, standing on my head etc... but always came out blurry

Congrats on your new watch
 You did a great choice  Try to switch on the macro mode of your camera for crisp photos of the dial

WooHoo!
What a great score! Welcome to the ceramic four hand club. Are you setting your camera on macro and using a tripod? I'm the last to give photographic advise. Some of the real experts will be along to help.

good work.
That's a great piece. Macro mode, tripod or a very steady hand would be required to take crispy close up shots. Which camera are you using? |

Such a beauty.........
Manual focus will help you get a clear image of the dial .... many cameras' autofocus uses an area - and will often pick up the bezel or spot other than the specific features/spot you want.
Congrats on the beautiful GMT!

Congratulations on a fantastic watch!
By the way, some cameras will look blurry in the Macro mode, but the picture will be crystal clear once you snap it. Enjoy your weekend even more now!

Fabulous GMT - congratulations
.For sharp close-ups, definitely use macro mode (looks like a flower or petals on the selector dial on your digital camera) and a tripod ensures a steady shot. Keep trying and you'll soon have some crystal clear close-ups to be proud of .Anyway, well done on a great purchase!
