fpj cb - many personalities

i noticed it's not easy taking photos of this particular model cuz how brilliant the blue dial is. at almost every angle, the cam lense was catching reflections...was virtually unavoidable.

but in those few moments i was able to catch a non-reflecting angle, u can immediately observe how different the character of the watch/dial becomes.
that blue...just wow!

Sweet watch. I am really liking the blues like that. It is hard to tell if they are blue or black depending on the angle.

The other problem is your phone and your eyes are seeing different sides of the dial. You catch the perfect picture with your eyes but then you can't get the phone to see the same thing! Endless hours of fun!

I've posted this one before but it's yet another face of the CB. Look at those shadows under the 1 and 2. I can never capture this properly on camera.

Agreed that this is one of the best dials out there.

I’ll add a couple shots :)

When the light hits the dial at a certain angle, you can see the reflection of the numerals on the bottom of the dial. It’s pretty neat

Yep, it's just under certain light that's what you see.

I need to see more of these pictures. Counting down 2 months when I should be getting mine... hopefully it's "early" March and not "late" March.

Another. I'm recycling pics as this one has been in the safe for a few weeks.
