New Wallpaper time (warning big pics)

So, it was time for me to get a new wallpaper, and since my monitor's got a really wierd aspect ratio (1280x600) I have the unfortunate chore of having to create my own every time.
So, I was admiring Choi's beautiful Datograph pictures, and so I decided to reformat (and modify) them.
Two things:
- I don't really like the Datograph dial, but, wow, the stuff you can see through the display back...
- They should check your net worth before they allow you to ever see a Lange watch. No matter what watch I might be able to afford, they all seems to pale in comparison.

Answer:
My first try at this did have a "sharp" display back picture. But that didn't look right. (The reflection is blurred in the original unmodified picture. If you look carefully, there's a surface, a subsurface, and a diffused reflection) Trust me, if I'd shown you the "unblurred" version, you'd think it looked odd too. :)
I think it gives it a more "realistic" feel too it. Suspension of disbelief or something :)
I also tried reversing it, (dial in the reflection) but that didn't "work" as a picture.
