Weird photo

I took a picture of my watch for another thread, but when I looked at the photo it looks like the “3” is floating or detached from the dial. I looked at it with a good loupe and it is attached to the dial like the other numbers. Just a weird photo.

Weird photo or not, but sweet watch though.

Looks like you caught the reflection of something on the ceiling (smoke alarm, light fixture...), but yes it does look funny!

its a reflection of a ceiling light fixture (or something overhead) which is just over the 3 making it look like the 3 is casting a shadow on the dial

but interesting photo nonetheless
