Using a light box correctly and paying careful attention to light management should make it easier to show definition detail like brushing. Just the kind of thing which can't be overridden with i phone software

Agreed. Nice pics btw.
It’s quite funny how bad the light box pics are on eBay and chrono24 from well established sellers. Hehe.

Incidentally, what are your thoughts on this picture (eBay advert). I asked the seller for a natural lighting picture but think I offended him.

I wonder if the markers will be THAT yellow in real life? Can you tell if the picture has been edited or the lighting played around with? Sorry I’m no photographer:

This is what the seller had to say:

I would say there has been some considerable contrast and sharpness enhancement. It is therefore likely not to be an accurate representation of the watch. Cant see any evidence of retouching though.
