Hey all, how do you think this watch looks? I like the pie pan constellation but wondering if anyone could spot something that's off about it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2561751925...uid=4DkmlPRWSmC&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Broadly speaking, when photos are over-exposed, they often mask flaws. Sometimes this is done intentionally by sellers.

I can assure you that the subject watch will look worse in person, than it does in those photos.

I second this. For sure that dial is not going to look as clean in person.

Fully agreed, especially since, despite the overexposed picture, you can see a lot of dirt / bubbling when zooming in:

@Aweis305 Avoid and keep on hunting. Those aren’t particularly uncommon and with a bit of patience you’ll find a nicer example, surely.

There is one among the pics provided on eBay, it's correct. Not sure what difference this makes, though.
