I was surprised when I opened the box to see that the watch face reflects a pattern of alternating silver-white rays that extend straight from its center to the 12 and 6 positions and curve radically to the 9 and 3 positions (something like the Naval-ensign flag of Japan). I've attempted to show this in the posted photo since other product photos do not reveal it, which the manufacturer refers to as Guilloch Jonequille. Although some may love this design element, others may not. *Being able to see the design in product photos would be helpful!* For me, it's too much; distracting, and a design overkill of an otherwise attractive watch.
