trying to capture the sunburst blue sub dial color

It is tough. The color looks amazing in person. Took a few pics outside in the sunlight but just can't seem to catch that sunburst blue effect. This is what I walked away with.

Anyone else have pics to share of the memorizing shimmering blue effect of the dial?

I think you've captured it fine, it just didn't wow me as I had expected when I tried it on after thinking for quite a while that it would be irresistible.

I know it is the older model (16613) but this picture shows the Sunburst effect fairly well...

I think your pics captured it well. Here's a couple of my 16613. I was trying to do the same thing when I took these.
