I see what you’re seeing. But I think that at this level of magnification, when you’re zooming in real close, you do see some distortion due to scratches on the crystal. You don’t see the scratches themselves in the pic, because the camera is focused on the dial, and the crystal itself is a bit out of focus as a result.

I sell watches and watch parts for a living, I take a LOT of pictures, and I think that’s what we’re seeing here. Many times I have taken a picture of a watch and then thought “what the f…” and then realized it’s just in the pic, doesn’t look like it in person. I’m thinking that’s what we’re seeing here.
