Hey there,

Instead of directly asking for some help (which I'll definitely ask for later 😉 ) here are a couple shots of a King Seiko 44-9990 from 1966 that I found in Japan.

Even tho it was most likely polished the angles still remain. The dial is absolutely splendid with it's patina.

Was shot with M50 and Sigma 105mm macro lens.



Enjoy 😀

Thanks for pointing that out 😗

There are plenty of nice articles that relate the history of King Seiko and specific models. I love reading those myself 😀

It was totally done on purpose. I personally think that the halo of light coming down on the crystal makes a nice scenery 😉

I am so lucky the medallion is not rusted or damaged. I wish it was not polished but hey still a decent shape overall 😉
