...I have some wrist shots!

The GCLL999 has a dark blue dial that appears black in low light conditions, all pictures below are under natural light except the one with comment.
One is taken from a review I made already 3 years ago, how time flies...










The picture above to show the difference in reflections on the dial with LED light (navy blue) and halogen light (purple).


And this last one for showing the profile / thickness in real-life conditions!
Cheers,
D.

Hi all, Just wanted to share some shots and notes about the last watch I received : the Credor Spring Drive Moonphase GCLL997. I sort of needed to balance the "night" version of it : the GCLL999, in accordance with the spirit behind the "Node" collection....  

Thanks PJ S, I know this is so cliché but...

...I have to admit they are totally different and totally complementary at the same time! Everyone who has one really needs both btw I think the 997 really likes the sunset light, when warm tones come to balance the cold purity of the dial. Cheers

Very nice..

Do you have a wrist shot of the black one? Thanks for sharing. Echi

Thanks Echi, of course...

I have wanted the darker watch for years, but other Credor Watches kept coming my way on their own accord (or Ken’s) - maybe some day it will happen. Cheers, Mike ...  

A very, very rare one, Mike - Nice!!

Don't know who told you about getting the 999 in complement to the 997 but the guy surely has strange ideas And now I need to counter your Cred-o-selfie with a zaratselfie (or selfiratsu, not so sure), aka the un-famous duckface wrist shot : Sorry I had t...  

Now that's a perfectly balanced pair!

Thank you for the extensive report on your latest acquisition - a lovely piece you have there. And as a pair they are even more fascinating! Looking forward to seeing more of it here and wishing you much enjoyable wrist time!

Thanks KMII, if you also want to know more about the watch, let's start...

...with an easy one: the "Node" collection was designed based on the concept of alliance of the opposites towards a balance point. More precisely, reference is made to the lunar node, which is the point where the orbit of the moon visually crosses the one... 

That is what I love about Seiko...

These endless levels within levels 👌🏻 Thanks for the additional information - much appreciated!

Gorgeous pair of rare Credor for a great connoisseur

Congrats again my friend ;-) These photos of 997 are really stuning. While not as subtle as 999 IMHO, the dial seems to change depending of the light condions. How is the color in daylight ? silver ? white ? cream ?

Silver, I would say

In diffuse light! Cazalea ...  

Thanks gnkt, there are great mysteries in this universe...

...and the real color of a Credor dial is one of them, and I think you already know quite a lot about it! I would say it is off-white... The amount of "off" depending on how warm the light you feed the dial with actually is. All pictures above were taken ...
