The lighting game — GMTIIC

[shedlock2000]

The funny thing about the GMTIIC is how it responds in different lights. I find that I tend not to appreciate the moments when it is fully lighted: the gloss on the dial looks excessive (and distorted) and I don’t like how the gold plots around the markers twinkle. In contrast, when it’s out of direct light, and the crystal becomes transparent and there’s less reflection, the watch looks much more attractive.

Here are two photos I took this afternoon that really demonstrate the difference. Same place, same time; one on direct sun, the other shaded by my body:




I think the 1675 is actually far prettier in any light:
