Yea he does a great job with watch photography.

Love my 1948 Liquidmetal PO, to me it's easily the same quality as a Rolex, especially the dial quality.

AFAIK- The only PO combination of this bezel, glossy dial in the 14.5mm tall case.

Indeed, this model is aging like the Porsche 993 of Planet Oceans. There will likely never be one this thin again, and none of the other thin ones even approach it in terms of finishing quality and design.
