When asking a seller for extra photos of a pre-owned watch, what shots are actually useful as evidence? Listings tend to have glossy angled photos that hide more than they show. I'd like a standard request list the forum can reuse.

Record format: question; proposed response; source or method; limitation. Use a dated correction only if the underlying wording or evidence changes. Record RWI-21604.

Ask for a straight-on dial photo with diffuse light and no flash, the full dial in frame, and the hands placed away from the indices (10:10 isn't ideal, because it covers the upper markers). Flash flattens printing and hides lume condition. Diffuse light shows print edges, alignment and any spotting.
