Does Not Like to be Photographed / Perpetual Night

this one does not like to have its picture taken -- the domed crystal, shiny bits and black dial are killers.

I will try to add some photos sometime soon, but it was tough enough getting this one.

I am really enjoying the watch, and it is absolutely freakish to see it "on the exact second", every single day. later tonight, we check the perpetual calendar!!

: Well...I think you have glossed over the 5 seconds/year thingy a
: little bit quickly. I *think* that fact makes any watch with an
: A660 movement the world's most accurate wristwatch. The
: debatable factor is an atomic sync'ed timepiece, buy then you
: have to get into a discussion about lcd lag on the screen. At
: any rate, 5 seconds/year with a 100 year perpetual calendar is
: simply mindblowing!!! I would be happy if every watch I owned
: was +/- 5 seconds a day!

: Can you post a lume photo of that watch Jeff? I have seen it and
: other people here should see it, too. Green markers, indices and
: numerals + blue hand lume is REALLY nice.

: What's the diameter and thickness? Is this your first Campangola?
: Is there a Grand Complication in your future? I follow Kurt's
: Campangola threads over at TZ and some of the dial finishing is
: the most unique I have ever seen. The use of colors and textures
: belies the stereotypes of Japanese watchmaking.

: Post more pics!
