Thanks for the kind comments. Interestingly, it was my camera, not me, that had the vision to create such a picture. I had my BLNR on a grey desktop and took some pictures for fun... I then put my BLNR on a blue felt cloth and did the same. When I dropped them into my post-processing software I realized when the BLNR was sitting on the blue felt cloth the camera auto white-balance was tricked and the watch looked gold on the image and the blue cloth turned grey. I then did some spot white-balance touch-up to convert what was gold lume and dial text back to white, threw in some vignetting around the image edges, and voila! A fun exercise to pass the time.

For the BLNR, SS > WG > RG > YG, IMHO.
